No idea what you're asking here.

Any sort of contrived meaning for something that simply "is" is going to have some "myth" attached to it.
That doesn't make an atheist's purpose anything less that noble, though. At least the atheist can admit that she is giving her own life reason. She doesn't have to cite untrue things as facts just to justify living. Living doesn't need justification.

What do you mean by "meaning"?
"Myths" are typical told in the past tense, not future tense, so it would be difficult to develop a myth about future events. And, when the time comes to create the myth, there would be no way to do so.
Your question makes little sense from a logical viewpoint.
Humans have no unique purpose or "meaning" for existence. We exist because we exist. Nothing more or less.

I don't need to believe in what you or any "religion" preaches. I can make up my own mind, thank you very much.
The odds that any religion is correct are nill. For all anyone knows, some Pigmy religion in Brazil is the only true religion and everyone else believes in a lie. I'd rather believe my own "lie" than blindly follow yours.

Nope. Because at least the atheist came up with this meaning HIMSELF, as opposed to having it come from a 2000 year old book of fairy tales!

Umm...no, life is very very real. Gods just dont seem real to me, since im an atheist of course. I guess i just live life but your question seems to be out of nowhere or something.

I don't assign meaning to my life. I just live it. I try to be as good a person as possible because its right, not because of some god/belief/meaning.

well, there is no inherent meaning to life. you must decide what your meaning is. so, it's just as 'made up' but it lacks mythic elements.
