So, it's "Metaphysic" is that there is only a natural reality, it's "Epistemology" is the scientific method tempered by Logic and reason, and it's "Ethic" is the majority in a society rules.
It's got the three major components of a worldview, therefore it is a worldview.
Get it now?
No. Whilst these things may well be what many atheist hold to it has nothing to do with atheism itself. Atheism is simply the disbelief in something someone else believes, in this case god or gods, nothing else.
Yes it does have to do with Atheism. Atheism presupposes Naturalism (metaphysic belief), Science and logic are the means by which Atheists claim to be able to know things (Epistemology), and majority rules are all that left when you remove absolute standards. (ethic)
This is a worldview, just because some Atheists are not aware of the Metaphysic or Ethic aspect of their worldview, doesn't mean they don't have one.
