And you still don't get it.
Atheists as a group have nothing in common excepts a non belief in deities. Whatever an atheist does or doesn't do or thinks is not the same for the whole group. Therefore every time you asked me what happens when I die or what to do, I distinctly said what would happen according to me. What I do with my life is up to me. There is no Atheist dogma I need to follow there.
If you think that is meaningless that is up to you, but I am perfectly happy with that.
And morality to me is what you agree with with the community you are part of. You agree to live under a certain society's rules and laws to better that society. This will give you less freedoms as an individual but in exhange a better understanding with your peers.
Its a fact an atheist life is meaningless if it has meaning then present that meaning. What I am explaining to you is it does not matter what an atheist does with his life for the end result is the same for all atheist. And that is what I have been saying from the beginning a meaningless life. Don't matter which atheist or morality to better society for atheist it is the same result a meaningless life.

What is the end goal of an atheist who lives a good moral life?
This question has been bugging me for a long time, can someone answer this question.
Why should living any sort of life involve having a goal?We just live out our days, end of.
It's like the old chestnut that comes around and around " why are we here? For what purpose? " . Some people, mainly religious people, cannot accept the reply " why should there be a purpose? ".
By going to work and school you add a purpose to life so why do you add this purpose to life?
