Two questions, and a comment:

1) Why do you think life would lose meaning?

2) Why is "hope for anything outside of this world" -- I'm assuming you're talking about an afterlife --why is that a bad thing? Do you remember how things were for you before you were born?

3) We each supply meaning to our own lives. You do, I do, we each do, except for those folk who hold that life cannot have meaning. You have chosen to find your meaning in life through your faith. That's cool, whatever gets you through the night, it's all good. But don't think for a moment that is not a choice you've made. You have chosen to make your faith the meaning and self-definition of your life. It is not inherently the case.
