Sounds like your the type of person that needs to seek out new hobbies on a perpetual basis. In your response re kids you clearly showed that you are capable o creating independent criteria for judging the value for any given human endeavor. If all the value judgements you make about life's various activities seem to you to be the sum total of 0 (and this distresses you) you may want to look into some happy pills. But.....if you simply find that over time any given activity has a deteriorating value then all you need to do is keep looking for new stuff to hook your interest (and that seems to be a pretty common urge honestly). I don't like plastic army men any more myself...though I do recall them providing me immense amounts of joy at some point in the past.
I'm not really certain how atheism gets conscripted into this one though, as I don't see how it either betters or worsens the situation you've described. "Why is life worth living" seems to be the question you're asking "as an atheist" tacked on to the end really offers nothing additional to consider with regards to the part of the question.
