Not Believing in God, but Not Liking the Atheist Label

For a while there were some anti- feminist atheists on YouTube. I don't know what happened to them because I stopped watched atheist videos.

You do not have to be far left or support feminism to be an atheist. But maybe there is something about the natural inclination of human behavior and thought when you remove the indoctrination of hierarchy and subservience common in a lot of religions. Especially the Abrahamic ones that causes them to drift away from hierarchies (which is more left on the political scale).

I am an atheist and I actually believe in objective morality. Though we totally lack in proper information and context to act in the most moral way at any given time. The subjectivity that our knowledge and cultural norms impose is ethics. Ethics change over time, morality is static. Our understanding of how moral an action was can change over time as well as we understand more about morality. Example: Slavery was always immoral. At some points in history it was sadly considered ethical. But it was never moral.

Funnily enough, despite believing in objective morality, I do fall into your nihilism bucket. In the end, none of this really matters. There is no greater purpose. No mighty power to appease. But even though nothing matters, that does not make life meaningless. It frees us to define our own meaning. Like a sandbox video game. We just have to be more careful because we don't respawn.
