Line 90:
Line 90: − − ==Nihilism== − Nihilism is an extreme form of skepticism which essentially argues that no moral truths exist at all or can be known to exist. The views of [[Frederich Nietzsche]], [[Marquis de Sade]], and some of the views of [[Ayn Rand]] are associated with nihilism. Some argue that nihilism is the "true" conclusion of atheism; according to some philosophers and theologians such as C.S. Lewis, if one believes that moral order exists at all then this also means that God exists. If a secular humanist therefore claims that killing children is wrong whether based on "evidence" or not, then they are tacitly admitting that they know there is a God, since if atheism is taken to its true conclusion, then even if killing children causes the children pain, there is no reason to believe that causing children pain is wrong to begin with, except based on faith.

After the French Revolution Auguste Comte founded a "secular religion" based on the positivist philosophy that himself called the [https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Religion_of_Humanity Religion of Humanity], with positivist "churches" still existing in France (and more "atheist and secular humanist churches" popping up in the present day). This religion was one of Karl Marx's inspirations, and is the precursor to modern secular humanism which atheists such as Dawkins follow - however today it has simply been rebranded as "atheism" to avoid admitting it's religious origins. Therefore, in reality New Atheists aren't even "atheists", they're members of a cult allegedly based on "science" founded by a "prophet" named Auguste Comte who's ideas are considered infallible to its members based on faith alone (meaning they essentially "worship" Auguste Comte as a replacement for "God") not much unlike Scientology.
