They form ethical systems based on reason without accepting the basis of the world's rational order. Its been 14 pages of "works for me" without any reflection on why it works. Nihilism is the logical conclusion of atheism. De-nilhism is the refusing to face that conclusion.
I really don't understand how any sort -theism affects a life that much. Because I reject the existence of God, suddenly life has to be meaningless? When I was Christian my life had meaning, but now that I identify as atheist it doesn't? Even though when I was Christian I rarely paid attention to my own religion, and it barely affected my outlook on life compared to now?
I don't get how my disbelief in a diety makes me a nihilist.
I mean, nihilists? Fuck me. Say what you want about the tenets of national socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.
