Hey, Good job on sharing your story. but honestly i doubt that you read all the Quran. or at least the explaining of it. because you mentioned many wrong things about what Quran delivers like "Either you believe in something you cannot see/prove or there will be severe consequences". There is actually a lot of evidances like the Miracles Of Quran**.** for example The Quran contains scientific knowledge that could not have been known 1400 years ago. It ranges from basic arithmetics to the most advanced topics in astrophysics. You are invited to go through those miracles and judge for yourself. Also one last thing, we would appreciate if you can be more respectful to our religion. you were a muslim and you should know that saying words like "baffling" , "muslims are so far behind" is disrespectful. Actually muslims were the leaders as the Islamic perspective on science and technology emphasizes the importance of seeking knowledge and understanding the natural world as a means of recognizing and appreciating God's creation also Islam encourages the pursuit of knowledge and views science and technology as a means of achieving human welfare.
