I argue that philosophers of religion should not merely focus on religions but should pay much more attention to the secular outlooks on life emerging in contemporary society. To compare these outlooks, I suggest that we use the notion of worldview, and contrast religious worldviews with secular worldviews − rather than contrasting religions with nonreligions, which scholars of religion have recently tended to do. Accordingly, religious people should be contrasted with secular people and not with religious ‘nones’. I also explore the specific contribution of philosophy of religion to worldviews studies, and discuss why such a contribution is considered controversial within religious studies circles. I contend that it should instead be a legitimate and essential part of the academic study of worldviews.

In an initial study, 19 persons were interviewed during the first year after the sudden death of a family member. Seventeen were interviewed again three years after their bereavement. Participants were divided into four groups, representing patterns of crisis behavior: boundless, spontaneous, emerging, and suppressed grief. Characteristics of the four groups were still discernible after three years. Those with spontaneous and emerging grief grew to cope in similar ways. In the initial study, a close correlation had been found between personality, view of life, and response to crisis, respectively, an observation that still held true after three years. No specific doctrine or belief system could be linked to the coping process, but a connection did exist between view of life, as expressed through basic attitudes, and the grieving process.
