No, not really. Religion created the idea of "meaning" in life, the idea that we were put here with a purpose. To truly live without god or religion is to acknowledge that life has no meaning, and that we're all just space-dust drifting randomly and all that bullshit.

I think according to Nietzsche, the ideal way to live is to create your own meaning, and life for your own purpose for your own sake. Like you can make your purpose in life to be the best painter in Duluth Minnesota for what it's worth and as long as you're striving for that goal you'll lead a fulfilling life. Yes, in the grand scheme of things, that goal is meaningless, but in a universe where everything is meaningless, that goal is as good as any, so you should follow it with full conviction if it has meaning to (you).
