I do.
this western culture is starting to grow more lenient to secularism and waking up from Christianity I've observed. However, those who go from religious indoctrination to atheism usually never explore everything and assume the rest of the religions in this world are organized by liars and don't bother considering and looking into things. Sorry if I ever sound condescending just sharing my views
I skimmed through a few pages and realized most people aren't comparative religious scholars and just dont care to look for it and expect it to come to them. Here's a few things that made me change my mind and come to my conclusions (take note I'm only providing these things because many claim it is illogical to believe in a God). Your choice to read
( I understand that many individuals have grouped all "holy books" under the same label, take the Quran and construe it under a negative light, so again, solely your decision to read or skip my post)
Does Man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? (36) Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? (37) Then did he become a clinging clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. (38) And of him He made two sexes, male and female. (39) Has not He, (the same) the power to give life to the dead? (40) [Quran 75: 36] He has created the heavens and the earth for just ends: far is He above having the partners they ascribe to Him! (3) He has created man from a sperm― drop; and behold this same (man) becomes an open disputer! (4) [Quran 16:3-4]
O mankind! if ye are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We have created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless, that We may make (it) clear for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed time, and afterward We bring you forth as infants, then (give you growth) that ye attain your full strength. And among you there is he who dieth (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the most abject time of life, so that, after knowledge, he knoweth naught. And thou (Muhammad) seest the earth barren, but when We send down water thereon, it doth thrill and swell and put forth every lovely kind (of growth). (5) That is because Allah, He is the Truth and Lo! He quickeneth the dead, and Lo! He is Able to do all things; [22:5]
Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; (12) Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; (13) Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators! (14) Then lo! after that ye surely die. (15) Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again). (16) And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation.[Quran 23:12]
Therewith He causeth crops to grow for you, and the olive and the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect. (11) And He hath constrained the night and the day and the sun and the moon to be of service unto you, and the stars are made subservient by His command. Lo! herein indeed are portents for people who have sense. (12) And whatsoever He hath created for you in the earth of divers hues, lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who take heed. [Quran 16: 11-13]
Have they not observed all things that Allah hath created, how their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly? (48) [Quran 16:48]
And lo! in the cattle there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the drinkers. (66) And of the fruits of the date-palm, and grapes, whence ye derive strong drink and (also) good nourishment. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who have sense. (67) And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose thou habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch; (68) Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of thy Lord, made smooth (for thee). There cometh forth from their bellies a drink divers of hues, wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect. [Quran 16: 66-68]
He has let loose the two seas, converging together, with a barrier between them they do not break through. (Qur'an, 55:19-20)
Did We not create you from a base fluid, then place it in a secure repository for a recognized term? It is We Who determine. What an excellent Determiner! (Surat al-Mursalat, 20-23)
We created man from the purest kind of clay; then made him a drop in a secure receptacle; then formed the drop into a clot and formed the clot into a lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators! (Surat al-Muminun, 12-14)
He is the Knower of the Unseen, Whom not
even the weight of the smallest particle eludes, either in the heavens or in the earth;
nor is there anything smaller or larger than that which is not in a Clear Book. (Qur'an, 34:3)
And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Qur'an, 51:47)
since we all like to talk about coincidence, coincidence much that millions of people recite things things daily? coincidence much that the historians and word of hearsay tell us that this came out of a man who was illiterate and lived in the desert 1400 years ago? reason and logic...use it
that's my view anyways, yes I'm a Muslim (One who submits to the creator) and my religion is Islam (Submission to the Creator).
Peace
