islam is very under-estimated

Even if we say Islam does teach you how to lead a good life, does that make it divinely inspired?

If not, then what in your mind makes it directly from God? Out of interest on a scale of 0-100, how sure are you that it is?

I was only a Muslim because my parents and my family are Muslims and I never was given the choice to be a follower of any religion other than Islam, frankly I am surprised there are not more non-Muslims is all Muslims who are Muslims because of ancestry thinks to themself, if my ancestry was not to be a Muslim would I be a Muslim ?

^ Yeah, I was a Muslim because my parents are Muslims and because by the stroke of (bad) luck, we were born in a Muslim-majority country (Malaysia), but it's just mind blowing to me to think that just about 600 years ago, none of the people who lived here were Muslims, so our ancestors had completely different beliefs and sets of cultures. Crazy.
