My personal response to that is that we don't have a collective response. We're not a hive mind, you know.
And yet again, a definition is in order.
Atheism is the position that there is no good reason to believe a god exists. Period. It doesn't involve any additional philosophy. Personally I don't think it leads to nihilism in itself.
Now if I got a nickel every time I needed to say that...
