But don't you see what they are? I mean it all goes to your definition of religion of course. I use a broader definition then most people. It is more encompassing but more accrute in my opinon. I mean it is hard for me to show you how your ideals and morals draw parrell to established religion considering the fact that other then stating that you have them I do not have idea what they are. If you will elaborate on that satement I can probably find a parallel to a religion. I am not saying I am going to discover that you are in fact a Buddhist. That the first sterotype we need to rid our selves of. Not all religions are as clear cut as they want you to believe on either side. You can, and many people do, sorta create your own religion. With my own created religion you still make it to heaven (or whatever) that way.

How can they not? I mean by definition world view is "a comprehensive view of the world and human life " How can that not include thoughts on religion as well as politics,economy and nature(and of course some others as well)? With your thoughts on one influcing your thoughts on all others.
