The meaning in my life? Love of friends and family, especially my 3 year old son.
What happens when I die? My soul will go into Earth orbit.
My life has meaning.
Do any other Atheists feel their life has meaning?

no meaning

I do.
I mean, I think that life having "meaning" is an odd concept to begin with. Why can't we just live as all other creatures do, and be happy. Why does there have to be further meaning?
However, I love writing. I love spending time with friends. I am incredibly happy with my life, and love the mental stimulation of learning new things, of being educated, of meeting new people.
If my mind is always full, and my soul is always placated, then yes I think that I like myself, and I know that others like me. This is meaning enough for me.
(This is not meant as an inflamatory comment, so please don't respond offended:) I sometimes think it is sad that other people need to give their life more meaning by putting themselves in the hands of gods. I would like to think we are all happy with ourselves as it is.

Contribute positively to the world around you while your here, leave it better than you found it. Along those lines the meaning of my life are my girlfriend's children. If I can bring them up to be a positive point on this planet, then I would have done my job long after I'm gone.

The only life that has no meaning is the life used futilely or without merit(selfishly). Helping others, family, friends give our lives meaning. How do you think your epitaph will read? Do you think anyone will remember you when you are gone? Will anyone cry after your passing or will they shrug and walk away?

My life is full of meaning. My family, my friends, my work, my involvement with my community, my hobbies and interests. Why do some think that without a religion in your life you have no meaning? I think it is odd that religious people let someone else dictate to them what is meaningful in their own lives.

My life is very meaningful, extremely fulfilling. I have 3 wonderful sons whom I love very much, friends that I couldn't live without, a family that means the world to me.

Yes, I have a meaning in my life. Having kids, watching them grow and have kids. Learning all that I can and make a difference for the world.

Life has as much, or as little, meaning as you want it to. There are no rules, guidelines, right or wrong way to follow your bliss; if you do that, then your life will be full of meaning every day.

Of course it has meaning. Don't buy into the religious poop that they sell in this country. We are just as good as they are. We have families, and friends, and children, and jobs, and countries, and hopes and dreams and skills and humor and love.
Stand up like a man or women and spit in their eye!!!!

Meaning is a linguistic function. All people capable of language are capable of determining the meaning in their life.

I'm a bit confused on how you claim to be a atheist, but also believe in a soul.
