I'm sure it's been said, but I want to touch on the topic of each atheist being responsible for finding meaning in their life. They have to examine their life and what they like to figure out what will truly bring meaning, which is another reason that there can be no unified atheism philosophy.
After going through severe depression for fifteen years and then finally managing it while also raising a son, I have happiness in my life, and that has become my meaning. I want to be happy as long as my happiness doesn't infringe on someone else's happiness.
So to the OP, it really is up to your friend to do some 'soul' searching and to identify what would give his life meaning.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
