Randy, please try to grasp that atheism itself is not a worldview.
You are an ahinduist, an ashintoist, and so on through aaaaaaaaaaaall of the other religions.
We're all of the things you are, with respect to those religions. Just like that.
Except also yours.
It's that last step, no different from all the other steps you've taken, which make an atheist.
There are atheism-based worldviews, such as Secular Humanism, but they're not synonyms.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
