Our worldview, to use a somewhat technical term, helps us organize our life.  It is the lens through which we view our experience and make sense of the world around us.  I think of worldviews in two broad categories: materialist and non-materialist.  The first is what most people associate with the modern world, namely a scientific approach to analyzing the world around us and our place in it.  Some prefer to call this secularism to distinguish it from a religious approach to knowledge.

Changing worldview is a journey.  Going from religion to science or spirituality to materialism is in my experience quite easy.  Going the other way is harder, less likely and takes longer.
