Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position which argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following:

• Objective morality does not exist; therefore no action is preferable to any other.
• In the absence of morality, existence has no higher meaning or goal.
• There is no reasonable proof or argument for the existence of a higher ruler or creator.
• Even if there exists a higher ruler or creator, mankind has no moral obligation to worship them.
