Reply to comment by ParacelsusLampadius in ELI5: What is the difference between fatalism and nihilism? by bluejester12
Doesn't have to be God, to be clear. Just the belief that whatever happens is fated to happen and there weren't any alternatives.
Edit: Wait, that description of Nihilism is completely wrong. Nihilism denies an objective "fundamental truth about the universe" source for morality and significance; they're not incapable of identifying morality and finding significance.
