That option does not conflict with various religions having different opinions of how or who is exercising divine influence.(October 30, 2014 at 12:56 pm)ChadWooters Wrote: Bullshit! If you have any opinion about how the world works, either 1) with divine influence or 2) without divine influence, then you have a "worldview." And that worldview does affect other beliefs, like what you believe about religion.
Would you then argue that theism based on the standard definition, which includes multiple religions and doctrines, is a worldview?
