Belief and Knowledge

[Mister Agenda]

Atheism is not a world view, it is a position on a single proposed aspect of reality; that's it. It does not inform my opinion on anything else.

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.

It would be far more accurate to say that one's atheism is likely to be informed by the inabillity to observe supernatural causes. Atheism is part of my world view because my skepticism leads me to not accept the divine as a likely or well-supported explanation for any causes. You've got the cart before the horse in the case of many of us. My worldview was fundamentalist Christianity, I started being skeptical long before I became an atheist, and God was the last supernatural thing I stopped believing in, not the first. I don't doubt there are exceptions, especially among those raised atheist, but there's no excuse for you to have been here this long and be this wrong about something so basic.

You said non-divine cause, not natural cause... a worldview necessarily contains more than one belief.

Okay, since you're all about semantics, what do you call an opinion that potentially affects everything else you believe about the world?

An opinion. It's the everything else part that's the worldview.
