>> Though there are undoubtedly Muslims who are pretty secular, in my experience they keep their heads down.
They're a bit more like us than that. It's true that Islam as a relatively recent religion still has a tiresomely militant side, but there are large numbers of Muslim atheists who are just like us Christian atheists - fully up to speed on how not to offend believers unless they really ask for it, relaxed and courteous to those of all beliefs.
Fortunately militant believers tend in the nature of things to be quite thick, so it's child's play to brush them aside and casually tie them in ideological knots. You can do it quite kindly if you want.
