In that same respect, I shall call you a Athorist, since I'm sure you don't beieve in the God Thor. Apparently this non-belief constitutes a worldview. Tell me, Athorist, how can you account for the lack of moral absolutes? Hmmmm?
I'm sorry, you think a "non-belief" constitutes a worldview, when worldviews deal with beliefs?

WTF? that's the same reaction I had to your equivocation.

[i]
A comprehensive world view (or worldview) is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing natural philosophy, fundamental existential and normative postulates or themes, values, emotions, and ethics.

My non-belief apparently screams at people.

The label doesn't bother me, Atheist with a capitol "A". (Especially since Athorism can't actually be a worldview according to the very definiton you provided.
