I have exactly the same epidemiological stance, apply reason to experience, and yet I reach a different conclusion, i.e. God exists.

Why are atheists incapable of doing the same?
But you don't have the same epistemological stance that we do, which is most apparent in your use of Aristotelian ideals.
Your belief in god is a worldview because your conclusion leads to philosophical consequences that affect your perspective on everything that exists, while the lack of belief in god simply entails that further information is needed to create a complete worldview.
