And that's pretty much it isn't it? No meaning but certain things fulfill you, so you do them over and over.

Seen this mooted before and you always get a theist come along and say "if there is no meaning, and you just do things because you enjoy them, why don't you go around killing people or something?"
Because Atheists aren't bloodthirsty warmongerers as Christian Americans are.

Precisely.
