If the truth is that life is meaningless, then any meaning I assign to life is going to fictional. So if I do establish my own fictional meaning in life (and it will inevitably be fictional) then why is that more noble and enlightened than someone whose meaning comes from a fictional traditional religion, like Islam or Christianity?
It's not fictional. It's just not metaphysically woven into the fabric of reality, as religious spiritual types would like to have it.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
