- giraffe_lady 3y agoDo they? I haven't run into this attitude organically outside of HN in years at this point. I mean a new cohort of 15-year-olds is always discovering richard dawkins.

- drewcoo 3y ago> Those who don't believe in anything at all are atheists. We atheists believe things. We just don't believe in gods. You can find spiritual atheists and superstitious atheists and atheists who are flat earthers. All manner of nonsense. But they don't believe in gods. Some people use "nihilism" to mean belief in nothing, but there are self-proclaimed nihilists who are offended at that.
