I don't mean to denigrate Muslim philosophical thought, but I do think atheist rationalism has different tendencies in terms of attitude and technique. A lot of Peridot's development has been about recognizing her own privilege and seeing that the people she frames as not having problems have struggles she never recognized, and that's a very common journey for vocal atheists who care about religion while ignoring race and class. The way she picks fights over things that seem irrational feels very atheistic as well, as does her blind devotion to a great logical thinker until she sees just how illogical that thinker can be.

Listed out like that, I guess it's Peridot's starting point that makes me read her as an atheist. Maybe I could read her as someone who converted to Islam, but I would have to see that journey.
