Is nihilism the logical extreme of atheism?

[Whateverist]

As for the bones of dead and settled questions - which one are you talking about here?

Just theism and theology. I misspoke though. I meant that the question of whether any god exists is the domain of theology, not philosophy .. at least not of the fresh variety. But I take your point. If a theist comes to a philosophy thread to discuss theology, one might reasonably expect they are there to discuss its foundations. Then, if only assertions devoid of justification are offered, you can reasonably complain about passing that off in a philosophy thread. (Objection withdrawn.)
