What you mean with real world this is the world outward. In the world outward there are tigers and lions, in the world inward they are all predators.
In the world outward there is no one like the other one. In the world inward, there are 3 species:
1) Those who excuse their sins, they fight their remorse, they can be Muslims, Christs or Atheists. Mushrek, Koffar: polytheists or pagans. They are a lot. In their view as soon as something doesn't match their interests, it is bad, because they make them suffer.
2) Those who don't excuse their sins (immoral acts) and repent, they can be Muslims, Christs or Atheists. Taebin, Tavvab, Lost sons, sinners, those who sin and repent, sin and repent till they acknowledge they cannot fight their sins on their own and start crying for help and moaning for forgiveness. They are few. In their view, they are bad, therefore they suffer.
3) Those who are voluntary submitted to god and are god like, they can be Muslims, Christs or Atheists (they are those from group 2 who did never give up repenting, crying and moaning). They are safe from acting immoral. Muslim: God likes, saints. They are rarity. In their view everything is faces of God, Tawhid: unitarianism.
In Qur'an the word Muslim is used for those who belong to ommat (followers of Islam) and it is also used for 2 and 3. As ommat they are not the same as Christs or Atheists, but who is in groups 2 and 3 they are the same as those Christs or Atheists who also belong to groups 2 and 3 .
