I don't think a world view can defined much more than "one's foundational of life, the world and self". I think what the author is doing is defining a world view - especially, any fairly established world view is going to determine which questions are important, which order they should be asked in and so-forth.
Edit: Especially, "Is there a God?" is one of the first questions asked and answered in certain world views including the authors' but by no means all. "Should you even start by considering a potential God" is another question one can ask.

It seems almost entirely tied into his religious beliefs, which is a bit surprising considering the more technical description of reality at the start of the main article.
- rubidium 6y agoIt’s good in discussions to define some terms and agree on some specifics. That seems to be the authors intent. To find a place of common understanding and pursue civil discourse from there. If you’d like to unravel if the questions even matter than there’s a whole different conversation to be had.
- joe_the_user 6y agoEvery discussion world view defines terms and names specifics as well as asking questions. However, that doesn't mean one set of terms, specifics and questions is compatible with another - usually such things are part and parcel of the world view.
