In the 7th Century an Anti-theist belief system develops in the Arabic Peninsula.

Here are the key ideologies:

1. God/The Gods have enslaved the human race.
2. Humans must harness magic(or develop technology) to free themselves.
3. It is their duty to free others from the chains of the Gods.

Let's assume that this anti-religion spreads quickly throughout the same areas as OTL Islam.

Most kingdoms founded under this belief system will attempt to create laws to eliminate the worship of dieties, and fine, imprison, or execute those trying to encourage worship. Those with the military might will also try to "liberate" other lands from the Gods.

What effect would the existence of this have on the world? How would Europe react to the existence of this ideology?

If this survives into the modern era, what effects would it have on international politics? Would things like Atheism be discriminated against more in the West?
