Still being willfully obtuse?
Let me dumb it down a bit. An atheistic worldview is a worldview that has atheism as a part of it. It isn't atheism itself that is the worldview, but rather the rest of that belief system that makes it a worldview.
Even simpler:
Let's say atheists are wogs and atheists who adhere to a specific worldview, say naturalism, are pogs.
All pogs are wogs, but a wog can be a wog without being a pog. Just because pogs have a worldview does not mean that it applies to all wogs. Wogs can have any worldview they want and they are very diverse.
Now that we have removed the dreaded A word, can you understand this fifth grade logic concept or are you still insisting that because some worldviews have atheism in the center that makes atheism a worldview?
ETA: Don't bother with your backtracking. You clearly went from "atheism is not compatible with these things they steal from my worldview because . . . look at these atheist worldviews" to "I'm not talking about atheism, just atheistic worldviews, dummy." I wasn't talking about fucking naturalism, so either you cannot follow the conversation or you are inserting those atheistic things you need to support your argument on a whim, despite the fact that they do not apply to me, who you were initially saying stole from your Christian bullshit, implying that you have a monopoly on morality.
