Turn to a page with god in it, and put your thumb on that page. Now, go ahead and get back to me when god flits off the page and starts doing shit irl. Shit, including granting meaning to the world. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here in a world with plenty of meaning, not believing the shit you think can be extrapolated from an "atheistic worldview" any more than I believe in gods.
I'll wait.
From what I have heard from believers. Imaginary God with AK-47 waiting for you after funeral is an excellent motivation to behave.
