Christian worldview
Explanation:
Elements of a Christian Worldview ...

A Worldview consists of six parts; ideology, narrative, norms, rituals, experience, and a social element (Palmer 28-30). Ideology includes views on the existence of God, origin of the universe, nature of humankind, and world history (39). Narrative consists of sacred writings, historical works, literature, art, and myths that support the ideological makeup of the worldview (49). Norms are the basic ethics and aesthetics that govern which behaviors are appropriate and which types of art are considered to be worthwhile (49-50). Rituals are activities designed to renew bonds, re-create narrative events and mark the transitions between life’s stages (52). Experience marks the emotional and spiritual elements of worldview and is very closely linked to ideology (53-54). The social element of a worldview is the dynamic social entity that passes the worldview down to each new generation and assists generations with coping with new cultural trends within the matrix of that worldviews ideology (58). These parts form a synergistic whole; none of them exist in a vacuum and each one impacts all of the others.

1. What's a worldview?

A worldview is the framework from which we view reality and make sense of life and the world. "[It's] any ideology, philosophy, theology, movement or religion that provides an overarching approach to understanding God, the world and man's relations to God and the world," says David Noebel, author of Understanding the Times.

the Christian worldview


Explanation:
"We may say, provisionally, that the Christian worldview replaced the pagan one."

I would not call a religious worldview an "ideology", but neither is saying only "Christianity" enough in this context, I don't think.

"Provisionally" offset by commas is not the greatest, but "conventionally" is off. A solution would depend on where this is in your text - a near-final conclusion, or the end of an introductory part, which will now be elaborated? Other formulations could include: "Thus, we may state our [the] provisional conclusion that..." Or, maybe it's different, and could be rendered more simply, like: "Thus, in a certain sense, the Christian worldview..."

If the text is really socio-academic-stiff-as-can-be, you could do the second part of the sentence differently, too: "... that what happened [occurred / transpired] was the substitution of the Christian worldview for the pagan [replacement of the pagan worldview by the Christian]."

Christian faith / beliefs / understanding of the world


Explanation:
Depends on your context, IMO. I would say that we are talking about faith here rather than ideology. If faith does nt fit your context I would use "the pagan understanding of the world was replaced by Christianity/Christian beliefs". "World outlook" sounds awkward.
