Nihilism. Which frankly to me is the most nonsensical egotistic worldview in existence, and I would be highly surprised to find any functioning person operating within it.

There is a film that I thought was quite good displaying someone with this belife, the anarcists cookbook. (original title i know lol) Quite a ****ed up individual

I could take one of the strong believers here on the forum and compare him to another person with just as strong belief, but believing in rather the opposite. Both of them can't be right so why should any of them be right?
This doesn’t follow. Because many people believe many different things in no way implies that all of them are wrong. You may be trying to ask how we can have any knowledge about things like God verses only belief.

Indeed there are many mutually exclusive systems of belief on this planet.

I believe in Trolls. Is my belief less sirious than any other christian belief just because there is few out there believing in it?
Yes and no. If you are asking why Christianity is seriously considered by philosophers, theologians, and scientist, then yes that is why. It is something that is applicable since many people believe in it, verses trolls. If we were to commit scientific inquiry into the study of trolls very few people would care. If by serious you mean a legitimate or valid system of belief that is not the reason at all.

Thats true, a religion is legally (at least it is in england) a religion by numeric values, thats why there is an official religion called Jedi in the this country beacuse more than 10,000 people wrote it on the census, strange but true.
