The assumption the other person doesn't know.
#2
RE: The assumption the other person doesn't know.
I think your wording is slightly confusing. What do you mean by "once you step into that knowledge yourself"? Do you mean "by being part of and understanding Islam"?

And your example puzzles me as well. The Quran clearly outlines that apostates must be killed. You are saying that "Muslims assume people don't know killing apostates for apostasy is wrong"? :/ But it is in fact Muslims that are obliged to kill other Muslims should they want to detach from Islam. Why would people outside of Islam not know that killing apostates is wrong?

I want to understand your example before trying to answer your question of "knowing" a god.
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light!
