>>You can give your life meaning, that up to you. An inherhent meaning, or purpose, or reason though, is what we're talking about.<<
So why aren't people allowed to believe in God if it is "up to them"? It sounds as if you are saying it is up to *you* to decide whether religion, morality or the state provide meaning to the world and all others are deluded. Why so angry?
As for your rhetorical question re life; you have laden it down with your own beliefs before even presenting it to me.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
