I find the whole claim that atheism intails atheism to be false. Some atheist are perhaps nihilst and some aren't. It depends from person to person. I'm not an nihilist and I'm "hardcore" atheist.
Nihilism is also, like quite many philosphical ideas, to be very strange and, if may say, stupid.
Moral values falesly invented? Find that as a odd statement. They had to come from somewhere, which is from people.
Even though society has a certain ethic which they have to make everything work doesn't mean that the moral values is just invented by the society, or an goverment to control the people and keep everything together.
I do know moral values is diffrent between cultures. In some is it totally natural for women to go around topless, but here would it be morally wrong. Mostly becuase people would say "But, think aout the children!!!" and so on.
There are other diffrences to, quite many depending were in the world you are. But when it comes to killing, hurting, abusing, pedofilia, necrofilia, kannabalism and so on is it allways the same where ever you go. People find it to be wrong, it's an natrual intinct and most of these things does our empathical part of the brain repsond to.
But yes, some of the things I mentioned above is approved in some cultures. How could it be accepted there? Take a look at kannabalistic cultures, like headhunters. They do it because of what reason? Is it because they find humans to taste good? That it's fun to hunt down human and is a good way of spending your time? No, it's because of religion. They eat the one they killed, or parts of it which usally is the brain. I know zombie style. Because their spirit won't be haunting the area.
Why do they kill someone and eat him? What is the reason? They do kill enemies from other tibes, but it's ofently that they don't eat them.
The reason why they do waht they do is because they just eat persons that are concidred to be evil, and those people is not concidered to be human either. What is in their culture concidered to be an evil act? It is as it is for us: killing another human, absuing, violationg, raping and so on.
Even kannibals have the same moral values as we do.

- Science is not trying to create an answer like religion, it tries to find an answer.
