You can google definition of worship. Hint: there is more than one.
I'll help you out then, within the context of the Quran, worship here specifically refers a narrower range of definitions. Such as the ritual act of worship.
Assumption.
They aren't, the first one is based on a combination of the definition of Atheist and my personal testimony, the second is based on the same premise as the first, the third is based on the fact that, unless the individual we're talking about has some extra form of love for money, it is the same for them as it is for me, a medium for wealth and trade.
You'll have to put a convincing argument why, for the average atheist 50 dollars in their hand is more valuable to them than 50 dollars in my hand would be to me.
And please, do give an answer that's different than "because the 50 dollars is more important to them than God", that would still do nothing to explain why money would be more important to them than it would be to me.
This is nonsense argument. We are talking about people who die as atheists here.
Because of how Pascal's wager works? Very well. People who die atheists, especially those of ignorance, will be punished, but can be forgiven during their punishment, even after death. Mushriks have no such chance, at least according to God's words.
So now you pretend to know what Allah thinks here.
I am only reciting my understanding of God's words. And to my understanding God said that Shirk is unforgivable unlike other sins which are forgivable.
