It is not an illusion. The meaning we have is not something we perceive. It is something we create based on the pleasure we receive from different aspects of life. We then judge those aspects and ascribe value to what we truly find fulfilling. Just because there isn't a god at the end propping it up doesn't mean that that meaning does not exist. It exists in our minds as something we have created, not some sort of trickery of the senses.
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
