This is enough for us to consider it a position or a worldview, not a wide view but a small one. I didn't mean to say all atheists share common views, and either way the word use in portuguese is 'mundividência' that means more or less 'worldview' but the meaning is not exactly the same, it equals more or less a way of being in society, a position, the position of lack of belief in gods. This is what the guy meant, but he never intended to make atheism a religion, quite the opposite.

And this way of being will feel like a bigger or lesser deal depending on whether gods ever were part of your baseline assumptions about life and the world. If you had felt the presence of god before, the difference can seem profound. If not, no difference at all.
I think the atheist position will always be a big deal as long as theists are the majority, since the standard is too believe in at least one god.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
