No, whether or not you believe in divine influence affects your worldview, but it is not a worldview as is. There are many other factors that come into play, which is why trying to use the term "atheist worldview" is an over-simplification.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
