There is no need to get bogged down with quibbling, as this is not in disagreement, and it does not reflect the disagreement. It was introduced as a red herring. I was making it clear that the atheistic worldview assumes rejection of a multitude of religious beliefs--from a plethora of religious worldviews. This rejecton of contradictory worldviews narrows the worldview field for ALL atheists.

I am not going to quibble about the purity of definition involved in such a flexible concept as worldview. Really, AJ's red herring has already wasted enough of my time.

I define "worldview" in exactly the same manner as any reputable dictionary you care to use defines it; and, likewise for "atheist." So there is nothing in what you have said here for me to find disagreement on.
