" not made-up "religious traditions" that you may have based your whole view on religion on."

Then explain the hadiths Muslims abide by. As Islam's version of Priests, they complied the Qur'an from collected scraps of papyrus or leather or whatever Mohammad's wrote his sayings on just as the Christian Church did the same. And both chose which rituals 'good' followers of Allah should practice.

For example, did Mohammad say to pray at set times five times a day? It's likely he wasn't often able to keep that strict, exacting time table.

I am not Christian.

I am not a Muslim.

And I'm certainly not an atheist.

God exists, no matter the name He is called by. There is, as you know, only One God- as 'Allah' translates to "The God", with "The" being singular.
