You find and define your own morality and own hope. Gives no basis to judge anything else except that it's not your personal preference. You may categorize Auschwitz as evil and Hitler killing himself as a lack of justice, but that's all it is. Personal opinion. I believe there is something greater, something eternal. This world is finite. I see evidence that leads me to believe in something beyond what I see. That brings me eternal hope. As an atheist, you prescribe that each person derives their own meaning. I find mine in this, fulfilling the existential requirement of meaning in the atheistic framework, yet you deem it sad. I find that odd.
If you are coming in here with the intention of schooling a bunch of atheists in the awesomeness of believing in an absolute morality-giver, you are wasting your time.
