Nihilistic thinking has spread so far and wide in the 21st century in Europe in particular due to mass secularisation, 'dereligionisation' and the spread of atheism and humanism that one might argue have the tendency to devolve into nihilism. Alone, Cometan contemplates on the spectre to humanity's future that nihilism has become and the role of new religions like Astronism to inject new meaning into life for humans of the 21st century and beyond. The essence of nihilism is the purposelessness of life and there are many paths that could lead one to think in this pessimistic way. Astronist philosophy challenges the apparent meaninglessness of life that nihilism claims by establishing the greatest endeavour of the human species in the form of transcension. This is the journey of human beings to salvation among the stars and ultimately, the transcosmisation of our species leading to unity with God at the end of all things as the fulfilment of our destiny as a sapient species.
