Out of curiosity, how did you conclude that it was a worldview?  I doubt an atheist told you that.

I assumed that a belief in no god would point in a certain direction toward other 'attendant', as you call them, beliefs. One reason I'm here is to hear what atheists have to say. That helps me get rid of false assumptions, so thanks...

Just from the forum itself, it looks like there are many other topics discussed besides atheism. I guess that's just the nature of a forum, and you're saying they are not directly tied to atheism. E.g. philosophy, science...

Fair enough.  But yeah, atheism is simply not accepting the claim that a god(s) exist.  There are several beliefs/values/political views that trend with atheism, but it's not because of atheism.  Like I said, there are atheists that believe and espouse all sorts of crazy, anti-science, bigoted shit all across the spectrum.

Like even on this forum we have atheists that have huge disagreements on objective/subjective morality, abortion rights/regulations, economic doctrines, you name it. But you'll never hear someone say something like "because I'm an atheist, my atheism informs me that X is the best economic policy"...or if they do say that, their reasoning is almost invariably unintelligible.
