This article aims to analyze Malaysian atheists' posts on Facebook pertaining to Islamic teachings in Malaysia. Specifically, it focuses on three fundamental themes: the concept of deity (faith), the holy Quran, and the practice of worship within the Islamic faith. The analysis scrutinizes content shared in Malaysian atheist social media groups on Facebook spanning from 2018 to 2022 to identify misconceptions related to the selected themes. The findings reveal that the existence of God can be substantiated through the science of mantic. Concerning Al-Quran, it is demonstrated that its revelation is a divine miracle, firmly distinct from human creation. The act of fasting as a form of worship is also subject to specific conditions that either oblige an individual to fast or allow for non-fasting due to health-related issues.
