If Life is Meaningless Anyway, then What's Wrong with Religion?

Don't insinuate that non believers (how ever I/they define themselves) lives don't have meaning or are not happy just because you can't find any in yours. Don't expect to have me find it for you.

I'm not a theist, and I don't intend to be one.  Atheists are usually pretty hard on religion, and I was trying to discuss the fact that religious belief does have the advantage of automatically giving individuals a sense of meaning, and I was exploring the possibility that that may not be a bad thing.
