Does Atheism Lead to Nihilism?

[robvalue]

You'd think the fact that atheists are not in general running around murdering, raping and stealing would give theists pause for thought about this.

In their version of this world, do they see atheists with flamethrowers and nun-chucks outside their window or something?

It's also really sad that some theists feel the only thing stopping them from murdering and raping is a bunch of fairy tales. Obviously this is not true in the majority of cases, but the fact they think it is shows how damaging religion is to the mental faculties.
