Since "God" apparently walked among them, it couldn't have been atheist or agnostic...

The Garden of Eden was not a real place. It was a state of consciousness. The story of Adam and Eve is allegorical. They are symbolic figures, not real individuals. They symbolize the 1st humans that rose above animal-man.
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil symbolizes self awareness or the knowledge of the duality of spirit and matter. Eating the fruit of this tree (the apple) separates the time when humanity was animal in nature and one w/ Nature and God naturally.
God gave the gift of human intelligence to animal-man as a spark or lightning bolt. This is symbolized as the snake. Suddenly humanity recognized its separation from God (the duality of spirit and matter). this is symbolized by the expulsion (separation) from the Garden (the state of oneness w/ God in Nature).
There was no real apple or disobedience. There was no original sin. Real power lies in the hands of those who write history and create the mythos upon which a society is based. The Bible was written by men from an ancient patriarchal culture. The easiest way to keep women and slaves in their place is to say that God ordained it that way and then produce a book to prove it.
So of course they were pagan.

According to the story, Adam and Eve interacted with God from the first moments of their existence, so they did not have the opportunity to lack belief in him, as the rest of us do at the beginning of our lives. (Assuming they existed, as you say.) I don't think they had any particular religion, since they are not described as following any specific traditions or rituals or form of worship, but they were theists.

Everyone knows Adam and Eve were Scientologists.

They were simply theists. They believed in God because God spoke directly to them but they were here before anyone else could invent a religion.

Muslim (submitter to God.) In fact, every human being is born with this nature; it's the parent who choose their religion. When someone accepts Islam, we call him "revert" for that reason.
