I had to ask my daughter, she's atheist. She said, anti-theist. (Atheist) To elaborate what she said following, a belief that a theists does not exist.
You are right in that I was off target on 'the meaning to man', evolution is a theory believed to have followed the big bang. Man has no meaning, we just is that's all.
Noun1.theist - one who believes in the existence of a god or godsworshipper, believer, worshiper - a person who has religious faith polytheist - one who believes in a plurality of gods Adj.1.theist - of or relating to theismtheistic, theistical
Atheist is not derived from anti-theist, which means against a god believe. Its derivation is a-theist, which means without a god believe. Big difference.

Your daughter was incorrect.
See I thought that. ^ She's still young though and she will learn more so as to make distinctions on her own.
