I'm Agnostic. I don't like to 'believe' in something that I can't experience or see myself. This means I don't believe in any gods, but it also means I don't believe in their non-existence either. It's just an unanswerable question at this point. If someone can show me an experiment, that I can do or at least myself, that confirms or disproves the existence of a higher power, then I'll stand by the side proven.
At the moment, the hypothesis of a higher power is unscientific because it can't be tested.
If there are gods then they obviously have gone to great lengths to hide themselves, and the point of hiding yourself is to make sure others don't recognize your presence. In that case, my non-belief is the gods' will.
The only thing I'd be close to worshiping would be the sun... it is the driving force behind all life, its gravity the force that created the Earth, as far as we know. And all I have to do is look up through a filter lens to see it in all its glory. It would be certainly justified to thank the sun for my life and my dinner.
When it comes to the meaning of life? It depends on how you look at it. From a purely biological standpoint, the meaning of life is to propagate genes. Another way to look at it is the creation of ever more orderly systems, getting ever greater results from the same base materials. In short, the meaning of life could be to do your best, be the greatest you can be and live it to its fullest, taken from a person's point of view.
