Atheists
Critic:-
There is no proof of God. I don't think that it is an established fact that time and space had a beginning; also, the fact that matter had a beginning may also be something to be disputed. Furthermore, when asking this question, I would like to ask how we should go about coming to an answer? Do you assume any superstitious explanation will win by default?
Comment:-
The capacity to perceive truth depends on sensitivity, intelligence, insight, the degree of consciousness, the desire to see or accept and the efforts made to search for it.
Something must be the most fundamental reality, the origin, the self-existing, in terms of which all other things are explained.
This must be something in which not only materiality, energy and order are inherent potentialities, but also life, mind and consciousness without which, of course, the others could not be recognized.
Everyone is a small part of a total reality on which they depend, and with which they interact. This is a fact. They either know this consciously or it is known by their sub-conscious or unconscious minds.
Everyone also consciously, sub-consciously or unconsciously subordinates himself or herself to something, or identifies himself or herself with an ideal, ideology, object, nation, race, principle, person, institution, system, or their own egos etc. In short, they have gods.
Therefore, from the Islamic point of view there are no atheists There are only people (a) who worship the Real God, or (b) those who worship a false god, something less than the real God - they are Idolaters or (c) they attribute partners to God - they commit Shirk or (d) they have a disintegrated view of Reality and themselves and have compartmentalized both, so they have several "masters" - they are polytheists.
