[[Nishida Kitaro]] wrote extensively on "the Religious Worldview" in exploring the philosophical significance of Eastern religions.<ref>Indeed Kitaro's final book is ''Last Writings: Nothingness and the Religious Worldview''

According to [[Neo-Calvinist]] [[David Naugle]]'s ''World view: The History of a Concept'', "Conceiving of [[Christian worldview|Christianity as a worldview]] has been one of the most significant developments in the recent history of the church."<ref>David K. Naugle ''Worldview: The History of a Concept'' {{ISBN|0-8028-4761-7}} page 4</ref>

The Christian thinker [[James W. Sire]] defines a worldview as "a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true, or entirely false) which we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic [[Social constructionism|construction of reality]], and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being." He suggests that "we should all think in terms of worldviews, that is, with a consciousness not only of our own way of thought but also that of other people, so that we can first understand and then genuinely communicate with others in our pluralistic society."<ref>James W. Sire ''The Universe Next Door: A Basic World view Catalog'' pp. 15–16 (text readable at Amazon.com)</ref>

The commitment mentioned by James W. Sire can be extended further. The worldview increases the commitment to serve the world. With the change of a person's view towards the world, he/she can be motivated to serve the world. This serving attitude has been illustrated by Tareq M Zayed as the 'Emancipatory Worldview' in his writing "History of emancipatory worldview of Muslim learners".<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.academia.edu/9631989|title=History of emancipatory worldview of Muslim learners|first1=Tareq M|last1=Zayed}}</ref>

[[David Bell (author)|David Bell]] has also raised questions on religious worldviews for the designers of [[superintelligence]]s – machines much smarter than humans.<ref>{{Cite book |title= Superintelligence and World-views: Putting the Spotlight on Some Important Issues|last1= Bell|first1= David|date=2016 |publisher= Grosvenor House Publishing Limited |isbn= 9781786237668 |location= Guildford, Surrey, UK|oclc= 962016344}}{{page needed|date=May 2020}}</ref>
