Except that it doesn't have to affect everything else, that's just you making a wild assertion about an entire group of people, of whom you know a comparatively small set. As has been pointed out to you, beyond this one thing in which we lack beliefs, everything else is open to belief for an atheist.
For example, you keep yammering on about how atheists exclude the supernatural because they don't believe in divine creators, but my immediate question in response to that is, since when was "divinity" the only thing contained within the set "supernatural elements."? Atheists don't believe in gods, but you can find atheists who believe in all sorts of magic and spirit stuff, same as you could find theists that would do the same.
What you're doing is pretending that philosophical naturalism is the same thing as atheism, which is an equivocation. And then you're trying to tell us that any opinion which affects other parts of your view of reality is a worldview, but pretty much any opinion one holds affects other opinions; they aren't generally held in a vacuum, after all. In your desperation to win a point you're trying to say that any single part of a cohesive whole is itself its own whole, and that's nonsense. Your opinions and beliefs compose your worldview, but just because they interact and bounce off of one another doesn't make each individual belief a worldview.
