But atheists saying "we make our own meanings" does not mean "we just made it up arbitrarily yesterday." It means we have an evolved human nature which itself determines a lot of what is good and bad for us. It means that morality can be objective even while it is still relative to specifically human interests, as compared to the interests of mice for instance. That's not the same as extrinsic or determined by a God.
