To preface, I am an agnostic and I have seen a post from somewhere in which the OP mentions how, within the Quranic taxonomy, there are four categories of people: believers, disbelievers, hypocrites, and those who have not heard of the message. But there is no mention whatsoever about "honest disbelievers," who, despite their best efforts, try to look into Islam and the truth objectively but still cannot wrap their minds around it. I can understand many of you will object to this and say "But if you search sincerely, you will find Islam". However, I feel like this is a dogmatic claim with a presupposition of Islam being true, and this could be practically applied to all beliefs. People try to begin their search for the truth and end up on different paths with no fault of their own. They might have some presupposed dogma, some sociological factors, imperfect information, etc. that may cause them to arrive at a different version of the truth, which is really human when you think of it. Do they still end up in the Islamic hell? Also, does the term kafiruun predominantly apply to disbelievers who know the truth yet deny it? Thank you very much, looking forward to insightful discussions in the thread.
