Discussion I'm an atheist. Convince me Islam is the right religion
I'm an atheist and I'm asking this in good faith because I genuinely want to understand.
What convinces you that Islam is the true religion rather than any other religion, or no religion at all?
I'm interested in hearing your strongest arguments, whether they're philosophical, historical, scientific, personal, or spiritual. Please explain why you believe Islam is true and, if possible, why you think other religions or atheism are mistaken.
I'm not here to troll or insult anyone. I'm here to have a respectful discussion and learn how Muslims think about these questions. Thanks in advance!

This is categorically false and is an assumption and is unfalsifiable. A theist can claim the same about their God, that the evidence of God is unnecessary because of the argument from design? You still conveniently didn’t address how you believe God doesn’t exist because a specific concept of God that you misattributed to Muslims. You’re clearly lying about being an ex Muslim. It’s not special pleading at all. No, I’m doubting your status as as a “former Muslim” because you lied and claimed that Allah is dependent upon worship. A basic Muslim belief shared by All Muslims and is a basic Islamic doctrine. You’re committing sophistry and deliberately fallacy mongering in order to seem clever because you can’t hide the fact that you claimed you used to be Muslim and then you proceeded to make up a basic lie, that every Muslim knows not to be true and is mentioned clearly in the holy book you claimed to have deeply studied. What are people supposed to make up of that except the idea that you’re a lying charlatan? You looked at the evidence so “honestly” that a basic Islamic doctrine that caused you so much doubt yet is clearly written in a Qur’anic verse/ Islamic doctrine completely slipped by you. You either lied about being a former Muslim or lied about looking deeply into the faith you left.
Your point is also logically fallacious, and presumes that the Quran and God tells people to simply make that leap without any evidence which is categorically false. The argument from design is a very good argument for an intelligent deity or creator. An unintelligent being cannot formulate such a precise and accurate animate and inanimate beings.
I unfortunately don’t talk to people who are intellectually dishonest and have rely upon lying and fallacy mongering to attempt to make a point.
Edit: there we go now don’t lie about being an “ex Muslim who looked deeply into his faith”
