For some people it is, but there is more than one path to the top o' the mountain; who's to say any are the wrong way. Funny, I used to know a lot more when I was younger than I do today.

Not me. I have a lot of respect for people of faith. I just don't agree that an atheistic world view renders life meaningless.

The 'meaning of life' is to reproduce in a stable environment so life continues. In otherwords, live your life in peace and harmony, fostering an environment where all, especially your children will grow up safe and secure.
What other values and meanings you want to add onto that, is entirely up to you. But forcing others to live in conflict and dispair, trying to justify it by suggesting they will be rewarded in sugar-candy mountain is simply exploitation and degrading life.
Life is what you make of it, so make good use of it. You only have it once.
