- Monotheism: The ministry of Fellowship of Christian Athletes (the organization I work for) operates from a monotheistic (and specifically Christian) worldview.
- Deism: Albert Einstein was an example of someone who believed in a God but did not believe God to be personal or knowable.
- Naturalism: The show Limitless with Chris Hemsworth (featuring Chris Hemsworth) promotes a naturalistic worldview. The last episode, entitled Acceptance, features Chris Hemsworth wrestling with his fear of mortality and his held belief that there is nothing after death.
- Nihilism: The character, The Joker, from the Batman comics and movies would be an example of a nihilistic character who throws off traditional morality and rejects any concept of good and evil.
- Existentialism: The Myth of Sisyphus (which is a 1942 philosophical essay by Albert Camus) is an example of a story written from an existentialist worldview, highlighting the meaninglessness and the absurdity of life and the need to discover one’s self-created meaning.
- Pantheism: The Baghavad Gita (ancient Hindu scripture) is an example of a book written from a pantheistic worldview.

Monotheism – The Chosen is a Christian show based on Jesus Christ and his time on earth.
Deism – Bruce Almighty is a movie that ultimately includes many “faiths” so it would highlight that there is a god, but that he /she is whatever we want them to be, including staying out of our everyday life.
Naturalism – Anything that involves Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution – Seems like the Planet of the Apes movies would be an example of this.
Nihilism – The Big Lebowski discusses this worldview.
Existentialism – Crime and Punishment, although I have yet to read it, would be an example of a book that includes existentialist worldview.
Pantheism – The Star Wars movies would be an example of Pantheism.

I think Christianity and Judaism, One is directly based on the other and the difference solely relies on their views of one man and who he is. Ideally they have the same values and concerns with the world yet a different view on Jesus.

There are several ways to answer this, but I’m going to go with….
Nihilism and existentialism are the most similar because both basically view life as meaningless.
Monotheism and naturalism are exceptionally dissimilar because they differ from the very beginning of existence. -
Monotheism and Deism are the most similar in that they both believe there is one God who does exist. Monotheism states that God is separate but involved with the universe while Deism states that God created an orderly world to operate on its own.
Naturalism and Monotheism/Deism are the two most dissimilar worldviews. Naturalism states that matter is all that exists and that we just evolved from some particle of dust. Where with monotheism and deism we were created by a higher being (God).

Most alike: Judaism & Christianity — believe in Messiah; obedience is central factor; returning Messiah will bring peace
Dissimilar: Naturalism – matter is all that exists & Pantheism — everything that exists is God and matter is an illusion. -
Nihilism and existentialism seem to be alike. One is based on attitude and the other where significance is created within. more depending on what is within oneself.
monotheism and naturalism seem to be dissimilar. god is involved in the universe for the prior view but the later one seem more like factors have to somehow align together?
