Greetings,
My apologies, for any apparent lack of clarity. I assumed my meaning would be crystal-clear to most users of the forum (or of a dictionary).
"Secular liberal humanist;" Secular = worldy/irreligious, liberal = those who believe people should be free to do whatever they wish, so long as they don't harm others, humanist = those who believe that man is the measure of all-things (These are very truncated definitions, for, no doubt there are significant and exstensive histories to the meanings and applications of these words.)
"(W)hose whole world-view": Note the word in bold.
peace

But, that aside, -- if there is anyone outside of the "secular liberal humanists" group whose worldview is not affected in any way whatsoever by things they see and read throughout their lifetime, then IMHO they are extremely closed-minded at best, and/or fanatics at worst.
