Dawud I believe there is some true to your statement. Beliefs or whatever you call them as theism, atheism, agnosticism or deism. All of which can affect your views. Reason being is that those affects perceptions and thought-process which molds the lense which you see the world through. I thought up this psychological hypothesis in response to the apperent lack of arguments power to sway anyones opinion regardless of potency of the argument or even evidence.
How this plays into this discussion is simple as you take a philosophical stance this stance will affect your perceptions. Such desires can be morality, ethics, or how you view reality. How such beliefs affect these is simple if your a theistic these are dictated by laws deemed by the creator. Atheism and agnosticism there are no such "higher" authority thus it becomes a subjective term. Now such things can be reliant on the psychological termperment to decide how one executes these, however these are highly affected by which major philosophical stance you hold.
Another major point is your thought-processes are going to be affect. In those processes you will create you own laws of logic, what you will deem as a rational argument, and even what can count as evidence. This will then affect the lense you take input of information from the world around you. If you observe debates in this case a theist vs atheist you will see this happen. Either side can present rather compelling arguments, however those arguments will not sway the stances of the individuals. Why I guess is because once it passes through the lense, it will then be filtered by the thought processes, which the foundations were influenced by those philosophical stances.
Now I do understand that many other factors do influence ones world views or stances such as enviroment and up bringing. However, I feel this can be observed even here you can see this happening. I feel we need to learn we can learn great deal from each other. However, we are still very tribal thus our thought processes will create zealous defiance to defend our stances. I even do it myself.

I would be a televangelist....but I have too much of a soul.
