There are two ways of looking at "Belief"

1).        As Religion and Ritual (Faith in G'd) relating to our Aspirations for the Afterlife;

2).        As a Trigger Mechanism in our Neurobiology (re: Our Human Potential), relating to our possibilities and aspirations for Material Achievement in this world.

When I/We Muslims say Human Nature we generally mean Adam and his relationship to G'd and how that relationship affects our Destiny as Human Beings.

On the other hand, for many secular human scientists, when they say Human Nature they are viewing Human Nature in a Non-Religious, Non-Theistic; Non-Ethical; Non-Moral; Non-Spiritual way.  They see the human being no more than a "Meat Machine"; a collection of Neurobiological, Electro-chemical Switches, Cogs, Springs and Levers (e.g., A Fine Swiss Watch), though made of flesh: a Machine none the less inside another system; The system of the universe which is just an enormous system of impersonal scientific laws.
