Atheism isn't a worldview, but
#35
RE: Atheism isn't a worldview, but
I think the OP is a statement rather than a question... a point for discussion. I've never heard it put, the main 3 world view angle but I see it and I like it. It seems to hold true for me.

So the topic up for grabs is...

There are three main world views:

1. Mythic
2. Rationalist
3. Relitavist

Fred has defined them nicely for us in the OP. A bone of contention we all gnaw at is our intolerance for those WV's not our own. I consider myself to be in Group 2 - the rationalists. My favourite atheists are also rationalists. Atheists will of course run screaming from the WV Mythic which would describe them. Fred has outlined how and why in other threads.
I'll leave you guys running with the firework jammed up your asses. Relativists are those weak walters who won't stand up for anything. Deists : *spits* Tongue (I jest - we all, in our religious / not religious (supposedly Wink) groupings can straddle all 3 WVs).

So there you have it. Discuss.

(And try not to be the test specimen demonstrating the point Wink)
