Between belief and disbelief, between religion and secularity: introducing non-doxasticism and semi-secularity in worldview education

In order to include all outlooks and perspectives on the world prevalent in contemporary society, countries like Sweden have replaced traditional religious education with worldview education.However, current worldview theory fails to make justice to two important facts concerning the contemporary religious landscape.Firstly, a great many people are semisecular rather than traditional believers or atheists.Secondly, many have non-doxastic attitudes such as hope or acceptance instead of belief.We therefore suggest that worldview education needs to include semisecularity, and that it needs to clearly separate the content of a worldview from the variety of epistemic attitudes a person might have towards that content.
