The difference between ethical atheism and nihlism is that ethical atheists have more faith

RE: The difference between ethical atheism and nihlism is that ethical atheists have more faith
I'm reading a book of moral psychology with a bunch of essays in support and against each other. It doesn't seem so far that naturalism has a leg to stand on. Free-will seemingly is impossible from it's perspective, and caused free-will is an oxymoron (compatibilism is not so compatible). So that is a problem, let alone justifying properly basic beliefs in morals (and all of them agree so far that properly basic beliefs of morals are necessary for morality).
