Are atheists deeply divided in their worldview, and how so?

On the world view that there is no god? Nah, i think we're pretty much on the same page there.

@MetalGreymon: Some atheists believe in one life. Others believe in infinite lives. I'd say there's a major schism.

Not at all. The only thing that makes you an atheist is that you don't believe in god/gods.
Any other belief you hold after that (infinite lives, loch ness monster, crystal healing) has nothing to do with being an atheist.

@MetalGreymon: Worldview isn't decided in terms of being an atheist or not. It's about what you believe- not one little thing (e.g. God) that you disbelieve. Atheists are united in rejecting magic/God and deeply divided in their worldview.

Ok...sure. But since being atheist is only one little thing, why would anyone expect them to have a united world view and is it a problem with they don't?

@MetalGreymon: It's a problem when the false atheist worldview interferes with the correct atheist worldview- but that's another story.

I'm having trouble following here.
What is "the atheist worldview" false or otherwise? What does that mean?
