Simple and honest view, Most of so called islamic state consist of hypocrites govern by tyrants. They follow no Islam but their desires. Yes it is true they call themselves muslims but infact they aren't following Islam. It is true and real, If you want to view Islam than look the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Quran and his teaching and those who followed Quran, not so called Islamic countries. Simple example you are not blaming the driver for his wrong drive but you are blaming the car which is perfect and excellent to drive.

Dead one, we need to have a review here.
You said:
Why there r less atheist in Islamic countries . Have you ever wonder?

I said:
because apostasy is punishable by death in those countries

Now you are talking about how they don't follow islam and how I'm "blaming" the "car".
That might all be true, but it has no bearing on your original question.
So if you want to drop that question as pointless, I would be more than happy to move on

yes and thanks i understand what you are saying but i am also trying to convey that Islamic Countries are not following Perfect Islamic rule. They are mixed societies inspired with different culture. Most of these countries are governed by dictators.

There is a widely prevailing misconception abt this issue. It is generally thought that the Holy Quran (The Muslims Holy Scripture) provides the death sentence for those who desert the religion of Islam. There is not the least ground for such a supposition. The Holy Quran speaks repeatedly of people going back to unbelief after believing, but never once does it say that they should be killed or punished. Although the Holy Quran does provide the death sentence for some situations such as putting a murderer to death, but it never provided death sentence or ordered the death of those who leave Islam.

i am clearing the misconception.

I'm aware of what forum we're in so I might as well be careful here, but that is not any good logic.

If we don't know what sparked the existence of the universe, that means nothing other than "we dont know". It is not evidence FOR anything.
In addition, even if it WERE evidence for the existence of A god, which it isn't, it does not mean it is evidence for YOUR god - there are a number of theistic beliefs out there and hundreds of gods.

Talking about evidence when it comes to these beliefs is silly - it's faith and either you believe it or you dont. Same goes for a number of my own beliefs.

Saying that people don't have any evidence against it gets us nowhere, and vice versa.

A RED ROSE IN THE SKY: THE ROSETTE NEBULA
When the Heaven shall be cleft asunder, and become rose red, like stained leather. (Surat ar-Rahman, 37)

Confirmational bias, no? Nebulas can come in many colours : green, blue, brown, grey etc, , not to mention that the Rosette Nebula is a place where stars are formed due to the great compressive forces from stellar winds not due to a cleavage of the heavens. Also, the interpretation of the quote seems baffling. It says that the heaven will become rose red (the colour), not that a red rose will appear. It seems like this is a case of using modern knowledge and trying to shoehorn it into poetic language in the quran.

THE MOON'S ORBIT

Again, I think it would have been common knowledge that the moon has phases, sailors would have known, as well as temple builders who lived long before Muhammad (Newgrange, built 5000 years ago, lines up with the winter solstice every year, so they must have known about lunar movements). This doesn't show any new knowledge gained from the quran, its simply states allah as the reason for these natural phenomena, which is not the point you are trying to make.

Look friend you are not understanding, It is not whether you believe yourself as god or not, It is when you reject existence of God than you reject all sources of reason, that is you have no creator, God didn't created you, creation is one of property of God. when you deny that creation than ultimately you are opposing God. only a god can oppose other God. I think it is very clear whether you assume yourself god or not.

No its not, not at all. If we dont believe in gods, then we also dont believe that only a god can oppose another god. This just comes across as you trying to label or box in atheists in such a way as to disregard what they say. We dont believe in gods, we dont believe we are gods,we dont act like we are gods ,we dont believe we created oursleves.

Watch documentaries on ocean, even there exist such a creation which no human has ever seen. Can All these strong fact will remove the greatest fact of life, if you said;

If you ask a ten year old about santa, he will tell you about santa, does this mean santa exists? Ten year olds aren't great at explaining reality. As for the rest, yes I believe that human minds created god and that the oceans and nature aren't indicative of his existence. Simply restating your believe that they are isn't a very strong argument.

He has answered his own question. The reason that there are less atheists in islamic countries is because they are not true islamic countries. However, does this imply that there would be more atheists in a hypothetical true islamic countries?

The fundamnetal problem with this, assuming that you take it as evidence for a god, is that it by no means implies your god. Christains say the same thing for their gods, jews for theirs, hindus for theirs etc.
Of course, as it is an argument from ignorance (we dont know something => god did it) we dont have to take it as evidence for anything.

God has told us what he wants us to do in order to give thanks to him, i.e. pray 5 times a day, fast during Ramadan, give charity to the poor and do the pilgrimage to Hajj at least once in a lifetime. Coming from the point of view of someone who believes God exists, this is not a lot to expect to show gratitude to the creator. For someone who doesn't believe in God, sure it probably does seem pointless.

It seems pointless unless the point is to do it (ie the point of living). Think about it, do this thanking and praising and you get into heaven, dont and its off to hell. Therefore, these 4 things must be the point of existence, as nothing else you do, how much money you make, how many kids you have, how happy you can say you are, will effect of you get into heaven. But why would it matter to god if we do these things or not?

You can say I'm being too cynical, but when I look at this, I dont see how any benefit god can get from these, and, if its a test, the god has skewed the results by telling us of the extreme rewards and punishments. When I look at it, I see that those that get most (only) benefit from the praising are the religious leaders (particularly those that rule countries), who cement their powerbase by convincing people that they need to listen to them to truly understand what god wants, religious leaders who, by your own admission, are hypocritical tyrant puppets propped up by the west.

You've got the point I think! The point is that this life is only temporary, a transitionary existance. The purpose of this life is to live a good life in preparation for the next where we will be awarded accordingly. The difference between non-believers (athiests) and Muslims is that non-believers live for this life whereas Muslims live this life to please Allah and prepare for the next. You might think this is a waste of a life becuase you think once you die, that's it game over. But for us, when we die, it is just the beginning.

But this is a great way for people in power to get less fortunate people to stop complaining about their problems in this life, tell them there is something better coming along. It seems to me, that the most immediate benefit for this goes to the leaders whose power over the people is based on this, on people accepting their bad lot in life and going along with what the leader says they should do to satisfy their god. How do you know you are pleasing allah and not just pleasing the religious leaders? Why should allah be pleased that some people have hard lives? Why is he displeased that some people just get on with their lives without thanking him all the time?

Its what I've said in the rest of this post: why do you believe the rules of your religion, the ones you cant explain, come from allah and not from the religious leaders who gain the most immediate power from them?

Improbable

The root cause of such differences in belief. Belief without evidence and belief because of evidence. That in itself leads to a question about what can be/should be accepted as evidence. I think that evidence should only be that which can be reliably reproduced under controlled conditions and/or has a basis in a reasonable argument, not one which is based off personal beliefs, whether they be your own beliefs or someone else's beliefs.

The problem then is that when people take up a position which is not supported or refuted by evidence, that position becomes unassailable under the parlance of evidence or reason. Belief/non-belief in the existence of a god is such a position because the concept is so abstract that it could mean almost anything. Religion is NOT such a position because while the religious may consider their holy texts to be the word of god, people who do not belong to that religion do not. Thus it is unassailable in the eyes of the religious unless they're willing to consider the possibility that it is not the word of god. Until that happens, the merits of religious belief and religious acts cannot be debated in any sort of meaningful way.

The Qur'aan was revealed by Allah, may He be glorified, as a law and a reference as to what is permissible and prohibited, what is commanded and forbidden, for people to follow, so that they obey its commands and abide by its prohibitions, take what it allows as permissible and take what it prohibits as forbidden. You can't create justice on earth unless you follow the commandment of God. If the whole world truly start following Quran than the world will be more than Heaven. I know you are talking that why you should follow Quran alone but i am not talking that some people should follow Quran. I am talking about a society as whole. Today world is suffering with crisis, One part is rich and other Part is poor, The only solution to the world if they wish to create a peaceful society is Quran.

That's the main reason you should follow Quran and whole world should follow Quran. If you truly follow quran than it is 100% sure you will not be "unjust".

Reason is people have abandoned Islam and Quran. Why it is hard for such a society to exist because people are more hypocrite in nature to accept such a society. Suppose those who are feeding themselves on the blood of poor they will always oppose such a society. Those who are living a luxurious life they will not accept to leave their luxuries for the sake of other people etc. Second is religions, different man made religion always come in the way of such society. Christian will not accept Jesus as messenger of God But Prophet Muhammad created that society on earth in state of Madina and his followers, That societies which were created by prophet Muhammad and his follower are pure societies on earth with no injustice. That is also one purpose to follow messenger. To create peace on earth.

If your existence is "source of benefit" to other than it is sure you have benefited yourself. Your life will be satisfied by working in the way of Allah. The Quran is a healing for the body and soul. Whenever life becomes hard and complicated the Light of the Quran will always brighten the way. It will be a source of solace and tranquility. It will be a defender to you when you are powerless and in need. It will be source of guidance in every moment of your life and your will die in satisfaction.
