I'd say that we're really all nihilists. In that, in the face of death, even the religious believe in nothing.

There’s not even a hint of nihilism in Macbeth, although some people think so based on the ‘sound and fury’ lines. It’s important to understand that, by this point in the play, Macbeth is almost completely deranged, a state brought about by his actions and their consequences. Since everything he does is consequential, it is the complete opposite of nihilism.

Personally, I blame his bitch of a wife.

If you want derangement, read the rest of Shakespeare. Hamlet comes to mind most prominently. In the end of that play, everybody dies.
