O "the grand Infidel of Kafiristan", you probably know that Muslims believe and teach that Islam is the natural religion of mankind and that it has existed since the beginning... . ALL HUMAN BEINGS, THEREFORE, ARE BORN MUSLIMS.
It is the action of their parents which changes their religion to something else. That is why Muslims talk about people CONVERTING to Islam by using the term "revert" (returning to Islam) . They are just returning to their ORIGINAL RELIGION.

The action of Muslims : they said with the intention of converting David remarks of that nature :
"As-salamu 'alaykum, (Peace be with you !) dear Dâwûd (David). Praise be to Allah (God), - Allah SubHanahou Wa Ta'âlâ (God the Sublime , God be praised) = swt - that you have found Islam as your religion.. Al-Hamdou lillâhi (Thank God! )
You have found Islam as your religion but islam is the natural religion ! You are searching for the right way (As-Sirât al-mustaqîm) to respond to Almighty Allah (SWT) and to His love for you in calling you to embrace Islam etc..etc..

But translate these Arabic words into English language ! Let me help you, in spite of my unbelief (koufr)

îmân = faith, belief
Al-Hamdou lillâhi= praise be to God ! Thank God !
In shâ'a Allah = God willing
âmîn= Amen
Allahumma= O God !
jazâka Allah khairan = God bless you for it
Rahmatou (Allahi )= compassion (of ) (God)
As-salamou 'alaykoum = Peace be with you (a muslim salutation)
baraka = blessing, benediction
Allah Subhanahou Wa Ta'âlâ = God - the Sublime- be praised ! = SWT
