Is theology the study of religious doctrines and their purpose? If so, what is the purpose of the Trinity for the gentile who wishes to worship the Abrahamic God without falling foul of the prohibition against idolatry and blasphemy? What prevents him from converting to Islam other than Islamophobia, fear of ostracism and the chauvinism that makes him think Christianity is "white and civilised" while Islam is "brown and barbaric"?
Perhaps the answer is even simpler: the gentile non-Muslim Westerner simply does not wish to give up what he thinks is this human right to have extramarital sex. If it is the case that choosing one's religion is a moral choice, then we would choose the moral system that most affirms our lifestyle choice. If we choose sexual liberation, or are already hooked on it since we had our first sex education class at primary school, then we would reject any moral system that says extramarital sex should be treated as a sexual offence.
Atheists and nihilists would not care about posterity or the quality of the next generation and be instead solely focused on a hedonistic lifestyle that can only be enjoyed in this life. This means he will be incapable of saying no to any sexual encounter and will be indifferent to any arguments about making any sacrifice for any principle. This also means he will be as predictable as cattle or beasts of burden, requiring only the motivation of stick and carrot, or in the case of cattle-like humans, only the motivation of threats, bribes or lies.
