Atheism, defined as a firm belief in the non-existence of God, is the starting point for reflections on relativism and nihilism. The author of the book emphasizes that atheists, unable to prove their position in an irrefutable way, rely on a kind of negative belief. This negative belief leads to the question of whether everything is allowed in a world without God.

These considerations lead to deeper analyses of the conditional statement: "If there is no God, everything is allowed." The author notes that such a statement is only half of a broader alternative, which assumes that if God exists, not everything is allowed. Attempts to resolve this alternative are always a matter of faith, both positive and negative. This results in the basic principle of humanitarianism, which commands respect for every worldview and not to force anyone to change their religious beliefs.

The book "Atheism and its Consequences. Relativism and Nihilism" is also a journey through the history of philosophy, showing how thinkers throughout the centuries have approached the question of faith and morality. The author analyzes the views of various philosophers, from ancient to contemporary, trying to understand how our beliefs about God and values have evolved. This historical perspective allows for a better understanding of contemporary ethical and ideological dilemmas.
