I'll agree with Paul on this one, which is agreeing with Watson on his earlier points except paul being an atheism. Specifically, I would add that my world view isn't based off of the Bible and invisible pink unicorns because my world view is based in the now. I may have a "checks and balance" for my ego and morality, but personal responsibility/ accountability and "cause and effect" are central to my world-view. I would also add that experience a prerequisite for definition which is a prerequisite for proof which is a prerequisite for belief.
@God's child- I think a key problem with the stance of "God is my life for without Him I would have no meaningful life " Is that meaning is derived from self and a lot of people do find meaning in life without God. I think if a lot of fundies accepted this, they'd push away a lot less "unbelievers" and shrink the division. Even God speaks about not scausing dissent.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
