How is secularism a worldview?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I corrected my 'worldview' error.
You can give me a simple no if you don't want to take it. Or not take it and not even say no. I'm not even asking that much from you.
I only need about 5 more people.
Yes, I am feverishly posting on all the atheist forums I can find.

I'm going to use contextual clues and say it means post some survey or whatnot that doesn't need to be attended to, and then ditch the forums.
You wouldn't be the first, nor the last to join, post a survey or something like "hey, check out my blog at "www.youwillneverseemeattheseforumsagain.com" , and then never be seen again.

It's British English for 'fuck off'. Lots of varieties.
Fucking off might involve a very green part of a tree. That's right: it's all about the moss.

Few things in this world are as complex as answering 'no'. Presentation is everything, including the reason for the backlash.

I hope it's not contagious :0
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Not dependent.
The worldview becomes a consequence of not taking for granted the existence of a deity.

What does sod off mean? If you didn't understand the second part of my question, then you could have at least answered the main part of the question - or did you not understand that too?

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Atheists can and have embraced many different metaphysical beliefs including but not limited to "nothing in particular." That you would say that atheism is dependent on naturalism and physicalism either shows that you're a shameless apologist, or a complete ignoramus. What may or may not be promoted on an atheist forum, is, at best, tangential. And since secularism is roughly defined as without religion, atheists who are religious make your implication complete nonsense. It's almost as if you don't actually understand what these words mean and you just string them together for effect.
