Every atheist and homosexual when they were born was a Muslim. It is in fact the religion atheist can accept at any moment and their lives will become better. Not just saying you're a Muslim but truly believing in the Oneness of Allah. The miracles are all around. The sun, stars, reproduction which is mentioned in the Quran in detail, nature and everything else. These are the miracles of Allah. This entire universe is not even .001 of his power.

Here's the sequence of my responses to this:
1. Snorted so loud upon reading the first sentence that my parents came into my room to ask me what was the matter.
2. Initially assumed it was a Christian fundie bashing atheists, homosexuals and Muslims.
3. Figured it was a Poe.
4. Read the rest, and realized it was [A]; actually a Muslim fundie and ; most likely sincere, wherein...
5. ...I snorted so loud my parents came into my room A SECOND TIME.
Sadly, many Muslims believe we are all born Muslim. This assists them in their hatred for non-Muslims. Leaving Islam is apostasy and the punishment for apostasy is death, they now have a reason to kill anyone who is not a Muslim because they were born Muslim but left it.
The Muslim fundie is confounded by his own religious rhetoric. He's confusing "muslim", the Arabic word meaning "one who is at peace", with the word "Muslim", meaning "a follower of Islam".
No, we are not born Muslims and no, we atheists can't accept Islam any easier than we can accept Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism or any other religion.
Reminds me of Christians who insist that everyone secretly agrees with their religion. There's actually a verse from Romans about that, saying we are without excuse. Not surprised to hear that Muslims think that too. Although, I've encountered more than a few Muslims who had some vaguely universalist leanings, so they would be able to claim that a Hindu like Gandhi or an atheist like Sagan were still Real True Muslims.

Mentioned in the Quran = some obscure verse that was then twisted beyond recognizability in order to shoehorn in modern scientific discoveries. It would be ridiculously easy for a divine being (or even an advanced alien) to put in a few numbers like the fine structure constant, Pi and e to 50 digits, etc, but we never see anything like that. Wonder why?
Allah's power is less than 0.001, per cent possibly, in the entire universe, apparently. The remaining 99.999% of his power, such as it is, is used up in exercises of futility. For instance, maintaining the frothing incoherence of Sleepy er...minds and. miraculously, ensuring the excitable tail-wagging of sex-starved morons and delinquent rapists.
Nobody will be surprised to learn that, true to form, Allah is one of the ignorance desert gods. Although, it is true that he explains all about the Higgs boson in the Koran. It should probably be called the Allah boson. And it was probably atheists who prevented him getting a Nobel.
This is not a coincidence, it is likely that Allah's ancestors were severely bearded weirdos with pretensions of being major virgin-herding barons.
"Every atheist and homosexual when they were born was a Muslim."
As per Jews, Muslim males are circumcised.
I - a British Atheist - still have my foreskin.
Your call.

And just how does one write a capital letter with the Arabic alphabet? You're making things more complicated than they really are.
Apparently I'm Muslim. My Protestant mother, Catholic father, and my own atheism be damned, I guess.
I'm surprised so many people seem surprised by this statement, since I've seen quotes on there from Christians saying the same basic thing. That everyone is born Christian and 'converts' when they're older.
“Every atheist and homosexual when they were born was a Muslim.”
“It is in fact the religion atheist can accept at any moment and their lives will become better.”
"Not just saying you're a Muslim but truly believing in the Oneness of Allah.”
“The miracles are all around. The sun, stars, reproduction which is mentioned in the Quran in detail, nature and everything else.”
“These are the miracles of Allah. This entire universe is not even .001 of his power.”
Confused?
