There is no atheist worldview. Esquilax correctly gave the definition of the atheist position, such as it is, though I would disagree that it is a claim. Until the burden of proof for all theistic claims has been met, the only rational and consistent approach is not to believe them. This is exactly the same approach that we take every day with everything else - this is why we don't, or shouldn't, accept claims for Elvis sightings until there is sufficient evidence for them. God claims and similar are no different. It's interesting, not to mention revealing, that so far not only has the theistic burden not been met, I've yet to see it even addressed.
I also echo Esquilax's remark about telling atheists what atheists believe. Whether you intended it this way or not, it's arrogantly presumptuous and very annoying. Remember, I am an atheist; I'm confident I have at least a basic grasp of how an atheist thinks.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
