Many Atheists make a mistake in how they perceive a Muslim in their belief ... And this has been encountered by me many a time ...
1) They think the Muslim is blind following his religion.
2) They view Islam similar to Buddhism, in that the Muslim is following the Rituals of Islam for the sake of the Ritual itself, not understanding the reason why the ritual is followed or appreciating that it is for a higher reason, i.e. the transcendental (God).
3) They do not understand the reasons for following the religion
4) They think that religion is all dogma, i.e. statements with no substance and no reason.
5) They think all religion is the same, and there are 1000's of them. But Surely in one country India, it as 1000 languages, and a thousand religions but they all belong to a handful of Language families and one religion.
6) They look at the ritual itself, for example, Fasting, and think to themselves, i could never be a Muslim because i could never do that... not understanding that the ritual itself should never be a reason for following Islam or becoming a Muslim.
Many atheists fall short in contemplating Religion falling short and staying ignorant in the gateway to the Afterlife (Religion) and therefore they have fallen short in Life itself.
