Existential nihilism, is just a rejection of intrinsic meaning, not relative or subjective meaning. If you're of the view that the only meaning life posses, is what we as human beings give it, but reject any sort of grand or ultimate meaning, outside of this you would be an existential nihilist.
It seems to me that you are the view that life doesn't posses any intrinsic meaning, only the extrinsic meanings human beings attach to it? Would that be accurate, regardless of whether you reject the nihilist label or not?
So you think you know what an atheist thinks better than he does? That's funny.
Humans create all meaning, including yours. You are no different in how you derive meaning than I am. You just tell yourself myths about it.
