Did you ever get an answer to the question "If a muslim does a good thing, and a non-believer does the exact same thing, did the non-believer do a good thing"?

Yeah the argument from their perspective goes like this. If you are acting according to the inner guidance, your deeds are of value. Since it's part of the nature to believe in God, if you don't come across Islam, and believe in God and follow morality (inner guidance), then your deeds are worthy. However if you come across Islam, and reject it, you are going against your inner guidance, and hence your actions are unworthy.

I guess it can be similar from their perspective to if a person rapes his daughter but still gives her food and does other things that are "good". Those deeds are not really have a "good" nature, when his nature is that evil. Since from their perspective, we are being severely unjust by disbelieving, our good actions are of no worth, without submitting to guidance.
