What kind of evidence do you have for your speculation? Do you think that there is any connection between atheism and if not de jure nihilism, de facto nihilism? I think any reasonable person would be forced to accept this. Do you think there is any connection between philosophical nihilism and destructive lifestyle choices?
The argument that I made follows simply from the diversity of views on atheist approaches to ethics. Some are nihilists, others aren't. Have you ever heard of a position called non cognitivist moral anti-realism? There are a lot of serious atheist intellectuals who subscribe to it.
The argument you made is basically psychological speculation presented without any evidence.
