Narevalom, to linguistics Spanish

Quick question for @linguistics (and anyone who might know about the topic): does anybody know why adjectives like “Muslim”, “Christian” and “Jewish” (or adjectives derived from names of religious orders) carry a capital letter, but the words “atheist” and “agnostic” don’t, even when they are used in the same way? Has anyone studied that?

@tlacamazatl @Narevalom @linguistics That's self-evident, isn't it?
