You didn't answer the question. :P

Charlatan, I didn't mean to say that life needs to have a purpose to find meaning. I just wanted to say that purpose in life will give meaning to it, and Religion provides that purpose, that goal to achieve.

I was trying to ask those without God if they found life meaningful without that purpose, or if they found another purpose for life.

Silvy, you didn't really answer the question. The things you do have meaning in themselves, but how do they give your own life meaning? Why do you do them, if in a few years you face obliteration and none of it matters anyway? How do you overcome the objective perspective that what you do in your life is so inconsequential?
