And if so, to what degree, where?   Like, how would a fundamentally secular society differ from ones that developed with say, Christianity or Islam or something?

Does world view impact the world? Yes and no, I believe that first the world is separate from one's view of it. The worldview is our construction (a useful fiction) of the world around us.

What you're asking seems to be how people with different world views act or form societies. That does lead to differences. Big ones, which is why you find people fighting for their worldviews.

Think of the effect a domino has on a stacked row of dominoes. You can see this with world views too.

  • Christian worldview -> Follow the teachings of your church -> One such teaching is that being gay is wrong -> condemn gay people, fight against their rights, etc.
  • Secular worldview -> Follow empirical evidence -> Being gay is not a moral issue and is a natural thing in the world -> Allow gay people their rights

I just arbitrarily pulled out one large issue, but really this has a ripple effect on every single view ever.

While the worldview does not impact the world itself, it impacts us, and how we build our society a top the world.

Really thoughtful. We can't really change the world on our own, but by explicating our world-views, we can forge bonds, establish messages, and find support.
