ATHEIST WORLD VIEW

"Atheist World View" is one of the most ignorant utterances that I continue to hear from the religious. Are people not aware that Atheists can believe in spirits, ghosts, and even magic? Are they unaware that atheists are republicans or democrats, conservative or liberals. Are they unaware that Atheists can be religious as the Buddhists. THERE IS NO ATHEIST WORLD VIEW. Atheism is a position on a single claim. "God exists." Atheists do not believe this claim. That's it. No world view. No claims about reality. I hear apologists like William Lane Craig intentionally use this term to create a Straw Man Argument or shift the burden of proof onto atheists (people who do not believe in god or gods) to make headway in their debates and then claim atheists believe there are no gods. This is simply a tactic for "shifting of the burden of proof." Please demonstrate to me that there is an Atheist World View.
