What gives my life meaning? My wife & kid(s), my work, my hobbies, and generally to enjoy the short time I have to walk around on this planet. Same things that give religious people's lives meaning, only without the religion part.

Seriously, though, why do people always ask this of atheists? Our lives are no different from Christians, only we live our lives free of any religious belief. I guess people tend to think that if we don't believe we have some grand, cosmic purpose for our existence then our lives should be meaningless. I say, enjoy life while you have it.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
