> Every worldview has to punt to mystery at some point.
I don't think that that's necessarily true. Humans are inherently pattern seeking creatures, so our thinking in one area or another is always going to have the potential for flaws but this doesn't mean it's inherent to a particular worldview.
> my worldview provides the necessary foundation to know things and have certainty.
This is only true if your worldview values a way of thinking in line with the scientific method. You would have to value evidence above any sort of sacred text or doctrine and abandon them when confronted with incontrovertible proof that previously held beliefs are wrong.
> Not all of them do.
This is true
> How would you describe your worldview?
In terms of religion yeah you could describe me as an atheist, nontheist, anti-theist, secular humanist, any of those would fit. More accurately and agnostic atheist, because as I had said previously agnosticism is not a halfway point, it's a claim of whether or not you have knowledge not a statement of belief. But you might find it interesting that from an atheist perspective, the word atheist is something that shouldn't really be needed. It's a bit like describing yourself is a non-stamp collector. As someone famous once said, I can't remember who, "atheism is just the sounds that rational people make when confronted with unjustifiable beliefs."
