they never really deal with some of the inherent nihilism and meaningless of a universe without a god where when you die you just die... They just try to wave it off with rhetorical tricks

"Only a bad person would do bad things without a threat of punishment!"

Uhh.. yea... There are plenty of us

"Life without an afterlife isn't meaningless.. live your life and look at how pretty the stars are!"

Eat a dick. I want my 72 virgins.

atheism is a de facto religion imo

Might not try to be.. but by creating the vacuum via removing religion and then trying to replace all the inherent aspects of religion with secular answers, that's essentially what it becomes, whether it wants to or not.

the cute post Malone here lives in Utah where being atheist is actually somewhat rebellious so I guess I would give him a pass.
