Islam benefit UK(Europe as a whole) in long run?

I come here in peace. I am not a Muslim, but I am interested in this subject from a geopolitical angle. I have been to the UK too and from a few times over the years, I don't see what these right wing influencers are claiming on social media. I have seen mostly clean streets and Muslims getting along with native Brits just fine.

Europe has been in divides both before and after WW2. I am knowledgeable to Islam to some extent. I know that unlike Christianity and Judaism, Islam offers both a theological and political system in one package; but you can have Islam in a secular society.

Islam's monotheism you think can unify Europe socially? I know we're not seeing it now, but the next two or three generations could likely produce this outcome? I don't know why Christianity fell apart in Europe unfortunately it hasn't fallen in the United States lol. The US has adopted a right wing Christian evangelicalism that would make most European faint.

I'm 33 and if I am being honest, my late 20s were when I started to realize I may not be bi. I think I have just grown comfortable with the bi label and its detrimental to me. I know you can't judge everything by arousal, but in my case that seems to be an indicator. I haven't had a girlfriend since high school, I have been practicing in college with some successes, but a I have gotten older, it's more difficult.

I'm not even questioning the sexual aspect of it, it's more so just that maybe I don't connect with women emotionally as well I thought. I can see myself with both women and men in a relationship, but my own insecurities prevented me from giving men a chance. I don't do hookups anymore, it's unsafe and it is demeaning to some men who would like a relationship.er

I thought I have had ED for the past few years, because it is difficult to perform with women, I need to really force an erection, then I go soft within a minute. Men I don't have an issue, even maintain an erection for 10 or minutes. I just wanted to be a little funny with this, that my erections with men get annoying. I try to go to the bathroom, I need to deflate myself, that's how radically different my arousal patterns are with men and women.

I got tested for ED and my urologist said I have nothing to worry about. He doesn't know why I went, but he was asking questions on why I went there in the first place. I didn't mention anything about sex performance with women, I didn't even mention I was intimate with men.

So what is the deal if you're a gentile who accepts God is real, but Christianity and Islam don't appeal to you. I won't get into a long and boring story, but the trinity never made any sense to me. I don't even think Christianity holds up on its own there's too many sects to count. Islam is the more recent religion in this Abrahamic family, but it's too violent in my opinion.

So if I don't convert, what happens when I die? I can't just live like an atheist and be a hypocrite. What would be the point in converting when I have no Jewish ancestry? Unless I married a Jewish women, I see no reason to.
