It's not so much a question of what the world out there is like, but how we live in the world regardless. It's about meaning, more than science.
Whether you categorize this as subjective recognition, or an objective one is all besides the point. When such a life is seen or observed, the acknowledger recognizes that it is the only one true life, while the rest is just great pretenders. I don't expect my children to see something differently here than I do, I naively believe they will without a doubt recognize the same thing as well.
Being is done perfectly without a god or any concept of god. An honest life, a great life, likewise, can be achieved without any reference to any god.
The only reason to mention god in any way is to make someone else think that the god needs to be recognized for some reason.
Nothing could be further from the truth, for any god has absolutely no merit. After all, meaning is found without god.
