How are we here? Is there really a moral standard? Do we come from nothingness and go back to nothingness?

I'm not your average Muslim that spouts out verses. Islam is the religion of logic. And I know atheists always claim to love logic but many a times even when not talking about religion I see the logic falter and they really don't even have what it takes for 3000 level philosophy courses. Not many do. Not saying that means anything though if you do comprehend but simply trying to talk about logic.
It's my first time on these forums. What about Islam is illogical to any of the atheists on here?
I'm sure many of you were born in families that adhered to a form of christianity as we all know there are endless sects, many of you are hidden atheists, and many are christians unsure, and also the agnostics.
Christianity is illogical. God dying. Jesus not being all knowing and God is supposed to be All Knowing. God is One but yet he is three. God is the Greatest but yet he is physically limited by laws, he has to eat, sleep, drink.
I definitely understand why many become atheist if they don't know Islam and they've only known Christianity because it is in itself nonsensical.
Islam beliefs
God is One. God is the Greatest. The Most Merciful. Babies are not born with sin. He is the Most Compassionate. Good or bad that happens in this world you are still in His hands. Traumatic events are tests on the individual. Those who are patient are indeed amongst the righteous. You can be Christian, Jewish and even other religion and go to heaven. You're not condemned to hell if you're not Muslim. If you're not sincere in good deeds they don't matter unless you're sincere in your heart. If you're a good person you will most likely go to heaven...except those that are atheists. Denying the existence of God is non sensical.
Islam is the religion of science, knowledge, wisdom.
Read some history. The entire Renaissance was founded because of the Islamic Golden Age.
What questions does anyone have for me? If you have any misconceptions about Islam tell me.
So how come the Qur'an describes the moon as having a light of its own? Using the word "noor"? As it is mentioned in Sura 71:15-16:
"See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,
and made the moon a light (noor) in their midst,
and made the sun as a lamp (siraaj)? "
We all know the moon is reflecting light from the Sun.
Wasn't allah the moon good in the pre islam pantheon
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
