I'm talking about the entire culture, Junior, not specific individuals. I'm not talking about 'my purpose in life is to be a lawyer.' It's much deeper than that.

So it's not a non-sequitor. It's a logical conclusion in a culture that has tried (albeit unsuccessfully) to take God out of it.

Based upon what evidence? You make a claim, but then you fail to back it up. You claim that it's "logical" but you fail to show why. I gave you evidence on the lack of nihilism among atheists of my acquaintance and the "don't look to the future 'cause God's coming and it won't do you any good to start something" attitude of Apocolyptic Christians. Others have shown you that the number of atheists in prison is far smaller than their percentage of the population, indicating atheists are not prone to criminal behavior (which one would expect based upon your contention). Either show us evidence to support your views or admit you haven't got a dog in this fight.

It's a logical conclusion in a culture that has tried (albeit unsuccessfully) to take God out of it.

Are you referring to "god" concepts in general, or are you arrogantly asserting (without evidence) that your God is the only God to be considered, and that cultures that follow a different god (or gods) are as good as atheists?

Sorry to ask, but I would like clarification.
