Atheism can only derive worldviews coming from the 3rd category.
A network of our most basic beliefs about reality in light of which all observations are interpreted.
You may be one of the many that have never analyzed their own.
Wrong. What you are trying to do here is shoehorn god as an axiomatic concept whereas it is a completely derivative concept. The most basic belief about reality can only be 1) Reality exists and 2) Reality does not exist.
Upon accepting the first, we can go ahead and ask other questions which are based on that answer, such as "whether what we perceive is reality" or "does something other than reality (god) also exists".
While using god as an axiomatic and self-evident concept, while simultaneously failing to justify its inclusion in such, clearly puts you in the wrong here.
