"That sounds like scaremongering to some Islamic leaders, who note that less than 5 percent of Europe's population is Muslim." (Source).

That's some majority of believers.

Define "resist." If by resist you mean physically FIGHT the religion, then of course atheists won't do that. But, if by resist you mean protect the separation of Church and State, then you know atheists will be at the front lines.

I consider myself a secular humanist, but I won't deny that I am atheist. After all, I don't place my faith in any God.

I picked Abd al-Rahiim as a moniker for fun. I was reading The Qur'an then, and now I'm almost finished.

I'm curious as to why you say you'd respect me more if I were Muslim.

Your last paragraph contradicts your second. If we atheists won't resist Muslims, then how are we going to crap on them, assuming they "win"?

Of course you will not deny you are an atheist..otherwise you would only be just a "humanist". It is widely excepted that anyone who calls themselves a "secular" humanist is specifically anti-religious.

So why are you here to debate religion? Do you believe that Humanism is a religion?

Think Darwin. The appeal of Humanism is that you get to be the dominant one, or the dominant species due to a supposed intellectual superiority or "enlightenment". It’s the same with racism or bigotry, but less obvious. Humanism is the same as any other competing universalism – Humanists want to lord humanism over the world, and you want humanism to be lord don't you? Bingo...Religion.
