You're trying to erect a problem where there isn't one.
Its not meaning in the sense of having any purpose. Swimming in a lake may be a pleasant sensation, it doesn't give it meaning. Sensual gratification is not meaning. I don't think you're understanding the full implications of athesim, you can create "your own meaning" but that is not objective meaning, ultimately the atheist has to create false meaning whilst having to admit there is no "real meaning" in life. This seems to be absurd logically.

And you must be the self appointed voice of collective atheism..
likewise I think you have confused me of someone who cares what you might think (notice I speak only for myself)
