And there are no consequences whether you adopt one religion/culture or another. There is no heaven and no hell, no soul and no afterlife, no flying winged beings, etc. Come on, winged beings are what very young children believe in together with a belief in Santa Claus.
There must be something else that we're missing out here. I just don't see how your faith and knowledge work together to produce one coherent worldview.
I have a theory that "worldview" is a word Christian fundamentalists made up to give respectability to their beliefs. There's only one reality but they like to talk about this being the "atheistic worldview" and that being the "Christian worldview" as if there are different existences and it's up to you to decide which you want to choose. That's utter rubbish. There is only one true reality and the rest are bunkum.
