To what extent are the specious arguments raised valid regarding the non-existence of God Almighty, and regarding turning away from religion due to the spread of corruption among those called men of religion, or due to the Islamic message not reaching all people?
The answer: Not feeling the existence of God is strange, for everything in existence points to Him. Contemplation of the self and its creation indicates the Creator. The corruption of those called religious scholars does not indicate the corruption of the religion itself; rather, it is a transgression against it, and the Quran and Sunnah have alluded to this. Their corruption does not mean the corruption of the religion, which rejects such corruption.
The fact that the message of Islam has not reached the entire world is not a problem, for whoever has not received the message is excused and is considered among the people of the fatrah (a period of time when there was no prophet or divine message).
As for the statement, "How can I worship God when He is not?", a Muslim worships God through his faith, while others do not worship due to their disbelief. This is the reality of people.
As for the statement that morals are religion, this is ignorance of the reality of religion and atheism. Religion is the source and standard of morals, whereas atheism necessitates the relativity of morals; there is no existence for morals without religion. The foundation is belief in God and His perfection, that He created creation for a purpose, and belief in the Last Day.
