To the Epistemic Humility Challenged Christian

The last few posts have been focused on atheism and and the naturalistic worldview from which atheism is derived.  In the interest of fairness and epistemic humility I would like to "turn the tables" (so to speak) and focus on the worldview I function within: Christianity.

Atheism: Worldview or Objective Point of View (Revisited)

In this post I would like to explain why I do not believe atheism is the result of an objective point of view.  Also, I would like to explore at least one of the ethical implications that I believe obtain as a result of my understanding of worldviews. Lets begin with a quote from James K.A. Smith.

Atheism: Worldview or Objective Point of View

Is atheism a worldview or an objective point of view?  I ask this question in response to two blog posts found in The Washington Post section On Faith.  Both posts are written by prominent atheists and both posts are addressing secular studies as found in universities. However, the authors of the posts seem to disagree as to the status of secular approaches to education.
