I think we all live like we all have meaning (and value and purpose). The excerpt from the paper points that out. The question is: does atheism lead to existential and ethical nihilism? It so, and an atheist reasons and acts like there is meaning, value and purpose to life, an inconsistency exists.

Are you honestly claiming that atheists cannot have ethics? That's ludicrous.
I made no claim. I am asking what is the basis for ethics consistent with your philosophy?
