Ideologies. An atheist’s world view can be shaped by an ideology just as much as an Abrahamist’s world view can be shaped by Islam, Judaism, or Christianity.
Except, and I know you've had this explained to you multiple times, atheism is not a worldview.
Atheism is simply, being unconvinced that theists' claims that a god or gods exist, is true.
Or even more simply, you claim a god exists, I ask for demonstrable, falsifiable evidence, and valid and sound logic to support your claim, and if you fail to provide said evidence, I remain unconvinced.
How can that be a worldview? That would like saying that my disbelief in the existence of bigfoot, is a worldview.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
