Sure, but in the vein of the thread, just because there's no (credible) hope of things that aren't or can't be...doesn't mean that there isn't (credible) hope of things that are or can be. I think it's framing like the above that leads to the mistaken impression that there's any link, let alone some pipeline, between atheism or rationalism and nihilism.
I don't hope for shit that can't happen. That doesn't make me a nihilist. It makes me a realist.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
