Quote: This was a research paper published in the Telegraph . Atheist people say "our religion is science" but they throw aside science when science say something that atheist people dont want to hear .
There is so much fail here I don't know where to start.
Research papers are not "published" in the Telegraph. It's a newspaper, not a scientific journal. To publish in a peer review journal can take upwards of a year from submission. It's peer reviewed, handed back, modified, checked and rechecked. I know because I've done it! Whereas a newspaper report has to satisfy only two criteria,
1. Not libelous
2. Entertaining / eye catching
I've never heard of an atheist saying "our religion is science". If the did then they would by definition not be atheists any longer.
What you are presenting is a blogger reporting on a newspaper article reporting on a study which you says supports your case. Which you cannot provide a link to for people to read themselves. Are you really surprised that people are "throwing this aside?". Did you honestly think anyone was going to just take your word for it? Even if your intentions were good and your integrity solid (which one can never assume of an Internet anon) it's a 3rd hand report!
There is a depressing tendency for theists to work on the basis of "it convinced me and that itself should convince you." Please consider sleepy/nineteen that if you were convinced by reading a "scientific" source that we are only asking for access to the same source which convinced you.
Or, short version, put up or shut up.
Oh and you never answered what defines a Muslim Btw.
Oh and as a Btw, science is not a religion, it's a way to find stuff out. They may not have gotten that far with you at school, it's more a degree level thing.
