Defining Kafir, Mushrik And A Non-Muslim
If a person truly beliefs that there are many gods and adopts polytheism then he won’t be considered as mushrik ..right?. A person will be considered as mushrik only When he beliefs that there is only one god and knows that God should not be shared with anyone while worshiping but still he does it KNOWINGLY. Here the word “KNOWINGLY” refers to “deliberately denying the truth that God should not be shared with anyone while worshipping” or “knowingly committing shirk”. So on this basis mushriks are also be considered as kafirs and will be worthy of punishment on the day of judgement ..right?…
1 ) Yes, prejudice is one of the biggest reasons that may lead one to deny the truth and adopt a course of action more in line with their bias, whether it be Kufar or Shirk. 2 ) In this case it depends what has led that person to ignore the counter arguments, knowing such circumstances in detail will decide fate of that person and only God has power and knowledge to know all such circumstances. 3 ) We do not have this authority to give such verdicts but in your example, if someone has actually acknowledged this fact then we can call him kafir ( in literal sense as in rejected the message of God ) based on his own confession.
