If Islam is factually accurate then no separate atheistic universe containing all humans in which atheism is factually accurate exists.

Vice versa.

There is almost certainly no Allah based on available evidence. I'm sorry.

Absolute submission and obedience are inherently unhealthy and anyone who believes in that BS is de facto enslaved.

As usual refusing to respond rationally is de facto conceding that one's ideas have few merits.

You say that they stand against what America stands for but, what does America stand for... the answer is of course, DEPENDENT ON WHO YOU ASK.
We all have a personal idea of what the United States stands for, some believe it stands for freedom, some believe it stands for order and security, some believe it stands for the good of the population, some believe America stands against them specifically, some believe America stands for the Jews or Lizard people, some believe America stands for Large foods, some for greed, some for generosity, some for power, and some for weakness. There are so many conflicting ideas of what America stands for, so when you claim that someone's ideas are irreconcilable with what America stands for, you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

TLDR:At the end of the day what people believe or think does not matter, it's what they do that matters. If what they do is causing massive problems for other people, then someone will probably step in and stop them, if it's not causing any problems then it is fine. Stop worrying about what others believe, and start thinking about what you can do to make sure your actions aren't causing problems.

Evidence that Allah exists?

If Allah exists no other deity humanity or aliens have ever worshipped can exist. That's a very strong statement.

If the possibility of an individual deity existing a priori is the same then the possibility of Islam (or Christianity) being correct is very low.

You have a point, but what the US stands for can be found in the constitution.

Well specifically it's about lack of documentation.
And I wasn't the one drawing a conclusion based on lack of evidence, Kazten was.

My claim that there is almost certainly no Allah is based on the claim above.

I didn't say that there is any positive evidence that Allah does not exist. This is possible though. For example any evidence in support of the existence of any non-Abrahamic deity is by definition evidence against Allah's existence. Any evidence against specific Qur'anic claims also makes the possibility of Allah existing lower than before.

Or maybe non-Abrahamic deities are simply people trying to understand Allah but not being able to reach a proper conclusion? People stray and become confused.
