For theists, life becomes meaningful for when they acknowledged themselves as creatures of the Creator - God, the perfect being, the supreme being. The perfect "being" is the source of all perfection and beauty of all beings. Life and its perfection comes from this perfect being.
That's why when a finite being - a theist - has acknowledged the existence of a supreme being, this finite being would have known beauty in life.

For agnostics, they do not believe or disbelieve the existence of a divine being. Humans for them does not have the capability knowing what is beyond phenomenon (material); although they do not deny the existence of noumenon (immaterial).

Finally, there are atheists. They deny the existence of god or a supreme being.

Now, how can one give meaning to life if:
1. A being is oblivious to the existence of the source and perfection of all life?

2. A being does not believe or denies existence of the source and perfection of all life? Where does this being gets his meaning of life?

I would like to hear thoughts from people claiming God does not exist or his existence cannot be proven. I am not trying to have a debate here hehehe. Being a philosopher, I just wonder how you give meaning to your lives with or without a supreme being...
 
to each is own...the meaning of life depends on a person...for me the meaning of life is the cycle of creation and destruction a process on which every being needs to go through.
