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.
You're not getting it. I'm not sure what else to say, because I obviously have difficulty making it clear. There are users on this site who can speak much better than I can, I guess I'll let them do it.
