[4:48] GOD does not forgive idolatry, but He forgives lesser offenses for whomever He wills. Anyone who sets up idols beside GOD, has forged a horrendous offense.
Atheism is NOT a religion. Grouping atheists together is like grouping together people who dint play golf.
I would say in the present day and age, Islam is the worst religion on the planet in terms of oppression of its own people, curbing free speech and thought, treating women like property and many others.
Historically I would say Christianity just because it has been around longer and more widespread and thus had more opportunities to mess up the world for us.
But in the end, all religions are toxic and do nothing but tarnish this one life people have on the planet.
WOULDNT IT MATTER MORE TO ASK GOD'S THOUGHTS??? WITHOUt Jesus there is no chance for salvation. That means nothing works except TRINITY JESUS...forget the ones who deny He is Christ!!!!
from a Muslim prospective we cannot judge another person as that right belongs only to god.
there are many people from various other beliefs (or lack of) that do many great things and many bad things. there are also many Muslims who do many great things and many bad things.
the worst kinda person in my mind is the person that hurts other people. there are people like that in all walks of life, in all religions, all cultures and so on.
why must the Muslim perspective find another religion to be the worst?
You cant just pick the worst like that. Christianity is setting up partners with God (so is Judaism), Hinduism is worshiping idols and Atheism (though not a religion) is ruling out God completely. Allah exists, and he is one. I may get lots of thumbs downs, but i am just answering the question.
Atheism, in modern terminology, means denying the Creator altogether, denying that He exists and not acknowledging Him, may He be glorified and exalted. The universe and everything in it, according to their claims, came about purely by chance. This is a strange view which is contrary to sound human nature, reason and logic, and is contrary to simple logic and indisputable facts.
As for shirk (polytheism or associating others with Allah), it implies belief in Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and affirmation of Him, but it also includes belief in a partner to Allah in His creation, who creates or grants provision or brings benefit or wards off harm. This is shirk AL-ruboobiyyah (ascribing partners to Allah in His Lordship). Or it means belief in a partner to whom some kind of worship is devoted as an act of love and veneration, as it is devoted to that person or thing as it should to devoted to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. This is shirk AL-?ibaadah (associating others with Allah in worship). By studying these two deviations, we may see that each of them involves sin and evil which tells us that they are bad and we see how Allah described them as being like dumb animals.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
?Have you (O Muhammad A?? AA??) seen him who has taken as his Ila (god) his own vain desire? Would you then be a Wakeel (a disposer of his affairs or a watcher) over him?
44. Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle nay, they are even farther astray from the Path (i.e. even worse than cattle)? [al-Furqaan 25:43-44]
?And surely, We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, and they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones? [al-A?raaf 7:179].
Nevertheless, the atheist who denies the existence of Allah and rejects His Messengers and disbelieves in the Last Day, is in a greater state of kufr and his beliefs are more reprehensible than the one who believes in Allah and the Hereafter, but he associates something of His creation with Him. The former is stubborn and arrogant to an extent that can not be imagined or accepted by sound human nature. Such a person would transgress every sacred limit and fall into every sin; his worldview would be distorted to an inconceivable level. Yet many scholars who discussed the issue of atheism doubted that this has deep roots in the hearts of the atheists, and they affirmed that the atheist is only professing atheism outwardly; deep down he believes in one God.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said a great deal which indicates that this group of atheists who deny and reject the existence of God are in a worse state of kufr than the mushrikeen who associate partners with Him. We will quote a little of what we have come across:
He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Kufr (disbelief) means not believing in Allah and His Messengers, whether it involves rejecting or it consists of doubt and uncertainty about the issue or ignoring the issue altogether, out of envy or arrogance or following whims and desires that divert a person from following the Message. However, the kaafir who rejects and disbelieves is in a state of greater kufr, although the one who rejects and denies out of envy, even though he believes that the Messengers brought the message of truth, is also in a state of kufr. End quote.
Majmoo? al-Fataawa, 17/291
He also said:
The one who denies the Hereafter but believes that this universe is created is described by Allah as a kaafir. The one who denies it and says that this universe existed from eternity is a worse kaafir in the sight of Allah, may He be exalted. End quote.
Majmoo? al-Fataawa, 17/291
He said (may Allah have mercy on him) refuting those who deny the Divine attributes:
(Denying the Divine attributes) implies complete denial which reaches the point that says: There is nothing that must exist and cannot have not existed. If he believes that and says: I do not affirm either existence or non-existence, then the answer to that is: Suppose you state that verbally and in your heart you do not believe either of the two; rather you turn away from knowing Allah and worshipping and remembering Him, so you never remember Him, worship Him, call upon Him, put your hope in Him or fear Him; (in that case) your denial of Him is worse than that of Iblees who (at least) acknowledged Him. End quote.

None are the "worst". The large majority of Muslims are actually very respectful of Christians and Jews, I'm Christian and have many close friends who are Muslims, they all share a Holy Book, so they have respect for Christians and Jews and refer to them as "the people of the book", they also mention Jesus several times in the Koran, they believe he is a prophet born from immaculate conception. There has been a history of violence between Muslims and Hindus, mainly due to land issues in India, but once again, the majority of them are very respectful to other religions so that isn't a problem. Atheism isn't a religion.
And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him WE chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous.
002.131 Behold! his Lord said to him: "Bow (thy will to Me):" He said: "I bow (my will) to the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe."
002.132 And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; "Oh my sons! God hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam."
002.133 Were ye witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to his sons: "What will ye worship after me?" They said: "We shall worship Thy God and the God of thy fathers, of Abraham, Isma'il and Isaac,- the one (True) God: To Him we bow (in Islam)."
002.134 That was a people that hath passed away. They shall reap the fruit of what they did, and ye of what ye do! Of their merits there is no question in your case!
002.135 They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with God."
002.136 Say ye: "We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets FROM THEIR LORD (NOT FROM MAN): We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to God (in Islam)."
002.137 So if they believe as ye believe, they are indeed on the right path; but if they turn back, it is they who are in schism; but God will suffice thee as against them, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
Thank you for asking me about my religion.
Before i began to answer your question, i would like to state two important things:
1. As Muslims we cannot lie about anything, especially about our religion.
2. We have original recorded sources of our religion:
A) The Quran
http://www.quranexplorer.com
B) Teachings of Muhammad - the Authentic saying or Sunnah
http://www.quranexplorer.com/hadith/english/index.html
This is a unique part of Islam, not available in any other ancient religions.

Muslims submit and surrender their will and desires to the will and the laws of the Creator. By referring to, "The Creator", Muslims are talking about "Allah."
"Allah" simply means "The God" in Arabic.
The contraction of AL- and 'Ila in forming the term Allah ("the god", masculine form) parallels the contraction of AL- and 'aloha in forming the term Allat ("the goddess", feminine form).
The Hebrews called Him, 'ELAH'.
Jesus, in Aramaic called Him, 'AALAH'
The Arabs call Him, 'ALLAH'.
The Sikhs call Him 'ALLAH'.
The Hindu Scripture say He is Allah'.
Sumerians call Him, ILA'.Koreans call Him' OLLA'.
In Accadian He is called, 'ALLU'
In Syriac, HE is, 'HILA'.
In Phoenician ,ALON'
Haitian, 'LOA'.
Finnish, LUOYA'
Even the Japs call Him, 'ARRA' , (They usually pronounce 'L' as 'R'.)
(Note the presense of the letter 'A' and 'L'. The variations were just due to Tribal Linguistic accent.)
And that is almost all the people on Earth.
Islam is a verb and a noun at the same time.
The first meaning of "Islam" is the verb from the root "aslama" (a verb), meaning to: "surrender; submit; obey; sincerity and in peace."
The second meaning of "Islam" is the noun form from the same root, and it describes the last and final form of the way of life as perscribed by the Creator for His Creation. This is the name used in Quran for Muslims to call themselves as followers of "Islam". This would make them "Islam-ers" in English, but of course in Arabic the prefix "mu" is added to denote the one preforming the action or verb and instead it becomes "mu"-"islam" or "Muslim."
"Islam" can be understood in a very general sense to be the true religion of God, as it is from Him and according to His commandments without adding to or taking away from the basic precepts.
