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.
Your presupposition requires you to consider the role of god when you observe the universe and is why you see a dichotomy where there is none. I have no such hindrance. My conclusion of 'no god' is a consequence of my observation and world view, not its starting point or basis. I'm a little surprised this very simple idea gives you so much trouble.
