Actually Stephen this sounds more like a nihilist point of view - i.e. that nothing matters.

As for existentialism, people often have the mistaken notion that it's contrary to a belief in God. Not at all. You can be agnostic, atheist or deist and still be an existentialist such as Kant was.

We have the freedom of mind to find meaning or lack of it in anything we choose. Life is as meaningful/meaningless as you allow it to be. I prefer to find meaning in it, especially in the beauty of music, art and nature and in man's ability to transcend himself.
