The three types of worldviews are religious, secular, and spiritual. Religious worldviews are centered around a belief in a higher power or deity.

Secularist, secular humanist
Secular humanist.
The secular humanist assumes nothing. We make assessments based on tangible or observable facts; things that can be objectively verified as real are included within the common perception of reality.
A secular humanist is a person who believes that we human beings have our own intrinsic importance, and we do not need to have a relationship with supernatural beings such as gods, spirits, etc., in order to validate our existences or to give meaning to our lives, or to guide us with systems of morality. Rather than worshiping God or gods, a secular humanist respects his or her fellow human beings.

It emphasizes the importance of evidence-based decision-making and the power of human agency in shaping society for the better.
