Some people read way too much into questions... it's just a question, not a judgement.

No, we're godlessly adrift in a hopeful universe.

If the universe is in fact godless, the yes we are hopelessly adrift. Apart from an ultimate law giver, the morals and laws we make up in society are ultimately meaningless. So are the lives we live, whether for good or bad. They may have meaning to certain human beings at certain times, but only from a subjective stand point. If there is not god there are no absolutes, and if there are not absolutes, then we have absolutely nothing.

You say it is a question...not a judgment - but there is a judgment.
The questions itself implies a godless universe...which is a judgment on your point.
It is kind of like asking -> have you stopped beating your wife? There is a leading implication/judgment that in answering the question leave you wrong both ways.
If you insist it is only a question...then you really asked two questions and it was poorly worded.
No, we are not hopelessly adrift.
No, it is not a godless universe.
So don't criticize people overthinking...just word your questions more carefully. Be aware of what you imply in the question.
Try an impartial question.

Adrift, yes. Hope is irrelevant.
People say we're not adrift because we're tethered to the sun with gravity, and the sun is tethered to the galaxy etc...
However, the fact still remains that the galaxy itself is adrift. The universe is expanding. Due to the big bang, all the galaxies are moving away from each other.

Well, what is God? Is he a masculine force of vegenful energy, limited in his love? Is She an Amused goddess, limitless in her love, truths, lives, and freedom, which are all one anyway?
Or is a God something so much simpler, something so simple you cannot even understand it; That which is EveryThing and NoThing, the Ever constant CHANGE, the Present one can never catch. The circle. The perfect syncyness and symetry and technology of the universe. The geometry and mathematics, the number that never ends. The Love not possesive, the Self CONCIOUSNESS, the WHO WE ARE now, and WHO WE ARE the next now.

If it was Godless, why would it be hopeless? If anything we'd all feel like Atheists feel-free to improve ourselves and help improve mankind in general. There would be a lot of hope, because people would start taking action and stop looking to God to solve everything.
I believe in a concept of God, but I don't think God interferes, so I think we should take action as if there were no God.

If you lack hope, that is your problem not mine.
The earth is captured within the gravitational field of the sun, which is in turn captured by the gravitational field of the galaxy so I would not say we are completely adrift.
The universe is indeed godless.

Definitely godless - slightly adrift - never hopeless.
