Whether you believe O Gods, 1 God, 2 Gods etc. There is a God belief that you have rejected as 100% false and impossible.
As far a a muslim in concerned a Christian is an atheist towards THEIR Allah and visa versa, the muslim is a non-believer that Jesus is God and therefore an atheist
Not to offended anyone but honestly, think about it Christians, imagine a Hindu woman who is content in her beliefs. Her religion gives her a feeling of hope, peace and well-being and as far as she is concerned, connects her to God, she is not going to covert JUST LIKE THAT when someone comes to her with a different belief.
If someone of another faith were to preach to you, you would most likely reject it as well, for many of the same reasons other people reject your faith.
Spiritual belief is really is a VERY personal thing and depending on your state of mind, location etc, you choose one belief over another. Do you agree or disagre?

There's one flaw in your thinking. An Atheist is not a person who does not believe in the Christian idea of God. An Atheist is a person who doesn't believe in any gods. If you have no religious beliefs at all, if you believe only in the natural world ( no supernatural at all ) you're an Atheist.
A non-Muslim is an Infidel
A non-Jew is a gentile
A non-Christian is a heathen

Atheism means that the person does not believe in any God except themselves Atheist's have no foundation, therefore they cannot tell anyone to follow any laws because someone else's law might not fit theres. So, no you are wrong.

You have a misconception of what an Atheist is.
An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in supernatural beings. It doesn't matter what "other" people think. It's their own personal belief.
A Christian can not be an atheist in a Muslims eyes.

Some people might even say that everybody is Agnostic deep down inside as nobody knows for sure one way or the other that any gods exist or don't exist. It depends on who is involved I guess.

People are born secular. But I think most of us become spiritual to one degree or another on our own. Parents influence us to an extent. But in the end, it is mostly our level of intelligence and personality that guide our spirituality.

it doesn't matter what god you believe in, if you believe in one or two, or heck 25, then you're a theist.
an atheist is one that rejects ALL gods and any possibility of there ever being one or many.
it doesn't matter if you reject one person's religion, because if you truly are NOT an atheist, then you believe in your own type of religion.

Nope, because there is only one God, the Most High God, He is the only one that exists. Therefore, all the other "gods" were created gods and because of that fact right there, they cannot be classified as god. I am not atheist. I belive in the only God who ever existed, exists and will exist forever. So, i definitely disagree.

Not really, but gods the monotheists hate it when I point out that they believe in one more god than the atheists do.
