It's worth thinking about though.

If you are a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Hindu/Buddist/Sikh/Zorastrian/Wiccan/etc that is your way of viewing the world, not merely a comforting story you tell yourself in the dark (though it can be that too).

In my case that means I see a loving a benevolent force working not just through people, put through every part of our reality. Between you, and me, the rock and the tree (sorry, couldn't resist).
Now I must disagree over whether or not we disagree (man, you would think this is a joke)! We do acknowledge each other as Christian, right? That's pretty central to our worldview. We just differ on God's involvement in this world.

But yeah, on the last two paragraphs, I agree. Even when people say that our religious beliefs are just part of a greater understanding, that is in itself a worldview, usually no more open to question than our own (unless they convert or go for nihilism or something).
