Is it reasonable to have faith? Should we have faith in reason? Whether we believe in God or not, surely we should have faith in the future and faith in our convictions?
Our convictions must surely be in accordance with Truth, Reason and Reality or they will not withstand the wear and tear of Truth, Reason and Reality.
If God is omnipotent, omniscient, eternal and unique, then He must surely also incorporate Truth, Reason and Reality.
On this point perhaps atheists and monotheists can agree: that whether we believe in God or not, we must inevitably submit to Truth, Reason and Reality.
Which might conceivably make us all Muslim originally, without realising it ...
A disturbing thought for some, no doubt.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

I think in your heart you are already Muslim :)
Secular Koranism is what I hope to explain and promote, Paul. I believe that would make me a Mutazilite - someone who believes that it is not necessary to believe in the existence of God as an omnipotent entity in order to submit to Truth, Reason and Reality.
At any rate, I believe that the Koran is a good enough guide, even for those who do not believe in God.
