You are free to find whatever meaning you want in life. Atheism is no barrier, and it's not a choice either. It's simply being honest with yourself. It doesn't logically lead to any other conclusion by itself. If it's a result of scepticism, then your problem is with scepticism.

How does trying to delude yourself into belief in a god help anything? You can have imaginary friends if they help you, without having to convince yourself they are actually real. Atheists are free to believe (or pretend to believe) anything else they want.
