But what do you have for the the Atheists who don't believe in meaning, or morals, or even free will.  I know during my time as a Catholic..

Atheists generally all believe in morals since they do exist in reality. We learn our morals from our parents and combine them with our innate "good for me, good for the herd" mentality. You didn't learn a god dammed thing about morality from the bible or your church, you learned it from your parents. All atheists had parents too.

We don't get our morals from a god book, theists only interpret the book's verses to coincide with the morals they were raised with.

I don't believe in morality.  And I don't believe in the "Good for me, good for the herd" mentality. To me, they are delusions. Or maybe a better phrase would be a misrepresentation of reality.
