My world view is definitely not faith-based. My parents were raised Catholic, and like many, left the church. They told me when I was growing up, I could go to any church if I wanted to... of course, faced with the option, I never felt the need for organized religion.
My wife is Buddhist, but the differences in world view are mostly cultural. It's how we were raised...
The idea that a single being created everything... perhaps that's true, but if it is, then somebody had to create the being that created us, and so on and so forth.
Any way that I try to look at theism, I don't get it... the only way I could subscribe to the belief and acquire "faith" is to simply stop using my mind. This is what needs to happen to a certain extent in order to be a true believer, and it's very dangerous.
