It seldom happens with atheists for they are a living contradiction to theirs. And what is their foundational “logical conclusion”? It is summed up in two words: Nothing matters.

That is utter C.S.

Only a sociopath, who doesn't have the capability to feel empathy for others, could possibly become a nihilist because of accepting atheism. But a sociopath wouldn't be affected by any love of God, either! So there is no way your claim about atheism implying nihilism could be correct.

I am not talking about feelings. I am talking about the human ability to override feelings when their intellect tells them that their feelings are a ruse, a product of evolution. Then it's back to "Natural Born Killers". It IS the logical conclusion and final end to "real" atheism.

Atheists cannot conquer this one principle: Life only lasts as long as “now”. And “now” is a very brief period indeed.
