Lerre, you're missing my point. I don't believe in Atheism because it makes me comfortable. Believing that I have some idea about how the universe works makes me comfortable; I would get the same comfort in Christianity or Islam or Buddhism. I believe in Atheism because I think it is the truth. I bother to believe in anything because that makes me comfortable.
As for the Great Scheme of Things; I believe that there is no Great Scheme of Things. Don't you think that belief pretty clearly defines what role I may or may not have in the GSoT?
And as to the moral code and unmeaning (nice word!): I believe that there is no absolute meaning, no absolute right or wrong. But from there, I have come to the conclusion that if my life means nothing to The Universe, then I'd best start making sure that my life is meaningful to myself and everyone around me. So I build myself an artifical moral code, and a sense of right and wrong, which helps me to live my life in a way which may end up having some subjective meaning.
