Secular vs. Spiritual What is the Difference? & What is Your Worldview?

Let’s begin by distinguishing between Atheism & Agnosticism

Agnostic  Agnostic beliefs traditionally are philosophical in regards to believing that there may be a "higher power" or God.  However, the lack of proof or evidence of the afterlife or existence of spiritual beings, leaves agnostics open to question the reality of religion and remain open on their opinion.  Agnostics do not denounce religion or spiritual powers but do not wholly accept without proof.

Atheist Atheist  Atheists, however, denounce the idea of higher spiritual powers and their religious base.  They do not believe in any existence of a Divine or deities (gods).

Who is an Agnostic?

From early on he questioned

Who is an Atheist? Sigmund Freud Civilizations and its Discontents

Both Men of Science with a Secular Worldview…  Albert Einstein a physicist  Sigmund Freud a psychoanalyst

Who had a Spiritual Worldview? C. S. Lewis - an author

Let’s look at both sides of the spectrum… We’ll be looking at Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis as examples of both extremes: Secular vs. Spiritual Keep in mind what reference their worldview might have come from. Would their worldview be altered if their frame of reference were different? Or is it something innate?
