Probably. I find that exploring the rationale behind assigning a masculine gender identity to such a character, coupled with capitalising the word "God", usually leads to admissions that the character and all that can be known about it comes only from a book. I like clarity in my bloodsports.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Morocco?

I don't think I've ever encountered anyone from Morocco, before.

From what I've read there are growing atheist/agnostic movements in the Muslim majority nations.

Are you able to give any insight on that?

Welcome to the forum.
Since we're on the subject of nitpicking, we don't want the Christians thinking we're of sloppy mind, because that's the work of the devil.

We pride ourselves on being logical and intelligent. It's our only weapon of reason. Those bastards will use our spelling and grammatical errors against us....

Good to have you here.

I don't think I have much iteresting this to tell about that. During the last years there is a rise of communities of non-believers in our nations, that come mainly in form of forums. I got to know quite a lot of apostat in the web. Lesser people in reality. That's pretty much it. I hope I helped
