What's the point of an axe?! With an axe, you can cut down a tree, chop wood for a fire, make simple furniture, build a house, but you can chop off a chicken's head or kill a person. There are so many meanings that it is impossible to strictly define any particular meaning. Therefore, as the author of the question, I have to say that the axe has no definite meaning.
Therefore… I also have to agree that atheism doesn't make sense, unless it's possible… something to chop off in the religious worldview.
In this sense, atheism is similar to an axe: you can chop the religious worldview of a believer into splinters, or you can chop off only their dogmas from religions and leave such qualities as the ability to forgive, love, be loyal to people, and appreciate life…
It all depends on which hands this one is in… “axe” and what is the meaning of using it to search for.
Atheism is the denial of the existence of God(and everything supernatural). This is a certain type of thinking, which well does not allow you to believe. And atheism itself is not about meaning and it is not a function.
You might as well ask: What's the point of having a position in something? What's the point of counting something? What's the point of having an opinion?
The root cause here is the claim of the existence of God. Atheism is a reaction to this.
That's the whole point.
But in general, everyone finds their own meaning in life(or does not find it). Or do you think all believers have the same meaning for everyone? One person decides to follow God through service in the church, and another wants to heal people, and the third wants to teach children, and someone wants to write books, etc. And judging by your wording of the question, it is implied that a believer always has meaning and does not even look for it, does not try anything in life, only sits and prays for days. Well, to be completely honest, then you can lose the meaning with God. Isn't that right? Atheists also do things differently. Someone finds meaning in one thing, and someone in another, but atheism itself is not the meaning of existence. The absence of God in a person's life is not equal to the absence of meaning.
Is it missing? The meaning of atheists is a personal meaning, not a social one, as in the case of believers. It never ceases to be meaning, and we also visit life in the service of our meaning. Someone feeds the homeless, someone goes to the economy, someone is looking for missing kittens or the Higgs boson . And believe me, no less ideologically than a believer. It's just that we are small people, we don't know the truth, and we don't believe in the prophets. And we believe in ourselves and our loved ones. Well, that's it.
And let's take a look at atheism not from a religious boycott…
Not on the atheism that religion has invented for itself in the proper religious and secular sense and only, – this has nothing to do with atheism.
The difference between religiosity and atheism is not whether there is a God or not, it's all nonsense.
The question is whether we know the WORLD or not and who you are in it.
There is always and always will be a childish question-who is God's father and mother, that is, where the resource comes from, which means it does not matter whether it is there or not, and what it did or did in general.
So only the border with the unknown makes sense and everything is decided on it,
there you define for yourself who you are.
And if you are a person and an atheist, then you are in full compliance with the laws of Nature, and it is also atheistic as it is not strange for someone, take on yourself and before you the full freedom of power and responsibility to know the unknown and rule this World, no less, then you are both a person and the one who decides and determines everything,
And even if you didn't know them, you also do this, because the world is already different after any of your actions, and you didn't ask anyone for this and didn't report to anyone, answering only to yourself – “as it turns out, so it will respond.” This saying is the same physics..
And most importantly – you do not need intermediaries in this-parasites who demand payment from you for your own actions with their loved ones and soul, spirit, mind and everything that they can snatch from you, without doing anything themselves, with what fright you should give it to them!! WHAT WILDNESS!!! And this is what any STRUGGLE requires. The derivatives of which are the most annoying in your life are just religiosity, both in the form of any religion and in secular execution, and this is the same business as it is not strange (it parasitizes production but does not organize it by killing your mind, and then with your full consent withdrawing everything you have created from you..)..
There is nothing new here-a classic that no one reads because they think they are smarter than themselves, but in fact-they no longer have the mind to realize that they are becoming religious, which means that they are no longer a person, but a being who has applied his power to his destruction and self-destruction….

Do you really like the fact that there is an atheist-minded person, and he is
Pride and Greatness of our Universe the ruler of this World – the whole World, with all the Universes and Worlds included in it, and not just a Person, but the perfection of magic and the magic of perfection of the whole World… to exchange things in the hands of a parasite for fate, especially since they will not support you..
You are a competitor, and the best competitor is a dead competitor, you are just immortal and even if you are destroyed, so the human in you is only five percent and will still be powerful, and this stops them from being destroyed once and for all.

1 It is necessary to think without claims, a claim is a dependence on someone else's actions (all morals and the law are built on claims and do not expect that this is not so)
2 It is necessary to think without resentment – resentment is dependence on someone else's opinion…
3 It is necessary to think without prohibitions-a ban is an addiction to your stupidity.
(don't confuse prohibition with caution)
And most importantly-everything directed at you is you, and only you, turns into claims, insults and prohibitions, and this is without options.
And no matter who comes to you with what – they don't need you, they need you.

The question itself is formulated incorrectly. For atheists – its own meaning, for believers in supernatural forces – its own. Just for the former, the starting point of their worldview is the secularness of thinking, where all processes and phenomena are interpreted not through a divine plan or as a result of the intervention of certain magical forces. This creates its own meanings. The same situations in the context of thinking of a secular person and a religious person have different meanings. If a person is saved during a complex operation, when the chances are 50-50, then for atheists it is a consequence of the experience and professionalism of the doctors who performed this operation. For a religious person, this will generate other meanings. That God heard the prayers and helped the surgeons save the man. The situation is the same, but the semantic context is different. In atheism, everything that happens to people is caused by the people themselves.
Very crudely put.�
But even if the question is discussed within the framework of the question, does it make sense for believers? Well, such that it would make their life directly defined? Personally, I do not observe this, the only thing that distinguishes believers from atheists is different reasons to live according to certain laws.�
Believers are sure that they are obliged to observe them, because they have motivation in the form of life after death, and some other elements such as fate and punishments during life. This is the meaning of their life, because the goal is to follow the rules. The rules are determined by the creator, and by virtue of his omnipotence, it is necessary to adhere to them.
Atheists live by the same rules (sometimes even more successfully), only they are prescribed for them by a rational view of society. They are motivated by logic, ethics, and morality. They are identical with the basic tenets of the faith, only for atheists there is no overseer from outside. The atheist sees logic in these rules, understands that they are rational, and this determines their existence.�
Otherwise, atheists and believers are similar, because believers do not have determinism in life, they expect a judgment, for example, after death, the outcome of which is determined by the life lived. Atheists aren't particularly concerned with life after death, but they are. Both of them have the same earthly life, because believers do not receive any proofs from their faith, which atheists cannot receive without faith.
If believers had any advantages in life from meaning, their life would be significantly different from the life of atheists. If you talk about privileges, believe me, there are many atheists who simply play along, participating in religious activities for the sake of profit, for example… and very successfully.
In short, the meaning of a believer's life is useless in his lifetime. Atheists and believers live in the same world. For believers, atheists play by the same rules (because atheists by faith will also pass a trial, for example), for atheists, believers make it a little more difficult to motivate themselves, and in general they live in the same society. The way in which the set of basic rules was written (without rituals, but straight laws and recommendations) it makes no difference if they are rational. And it does not matter what will be paid for their fulfillment after death. Religion has successfully stipulated in this regard that life after death is unknowable — no one will know or influence us from that world in any way. I hope I didn't say it too rudely.
Thus, the idea of atheism is not to think out a picture of the world beyond the limits available to human knowledge. In this situation, to neglect the meaning that is worthless for our world.
And your wordplay with the word “meaning” is a bit clueless. Do not remove important keys, otherwise you may get confused.
