Haha, shit, I have a deadline and I've been goofing off in here too much today, but I'll argue with you. 
Going by the definition that you gave of worldview, there is no way that atheism is a worldview. My perspective of the world is based on what I know of history, what my parents taught me about life, love, happiness, science, the environment, etc., etc., as well as my life experiences. The fact that I don't believe in god doesn't lead me to care about the Darfur Genocide or the economy in my country. The fact that I am an atheist has very little to do with any of my beliefs.
Let me sum up how atheism has influenced my life. It falls rather short of a worldview.
Christian: "Don't worry about the state of things, god will take care of it."
Me: "Great, while you wait for the fucking rapture, I'll get to work."
