Most religions are just there to make people not worry about their life or what happens after they die. Zen Buddhism might be it. The meaning of life isn't 42 . The meaning of life is to have offspring, raise them right, and spread more happiness than misery in the world. Its that simple.
People die, the sun still shines.
The world goes on. If you get it right, people and family will remember you with happy thoughts. Hopefully you accomplished everything your hand planned to do. Maybe see your grandkids grow up. I consider myself a good person and that is important to me.
