Detailed Worldview Outline
Introduction: In this outline you will learn about who God is, and the nature of our universe. Does us living in this world have a purpose, or is it just wasting our time?

There are various views as to the nature of the world based on religion: dualism, monism, monistic theism, pantheism, pluralism, and theism.
