From my experience on these forums, many, if not most, atheists feel this way:

Quote:Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Moral nihilists assert that there is no inherent morality, and that accepted moral values are abstractly contrived.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism

They bounce around absolute moralists with no understanding to how someone can get it wrong when they disagree with someone or with no signs of doubts their moral view is right,  to nihilists. 

Jump one way than the other.

I agree with William Lane Craig that no one is truly a nihilist, they just give lip service to it when it appeals to them.  In essence, everyone believes in objective morality whether they admit to themselves or don't.
