So for me, I have absolutley no faith at all, and have come to the conclusion that perhaps, there is no reason to life, however, I choose to live it for the experience, although it may not bring me anywhere.
My my, you sure have a dark outlook on life. Even christians, agnostics, and athiests share some of the same faiths. Namely, faith in our friends, faith in societies purpose, faith in the goodness of fellow humans (to some degree), and quite a few more. It comes down to putting trust in something that might fail you, but still finding comfort in that trust nonetheless.
As to the meaning of life, that is a topic that has been argued about for centuries. Just my own position on it, we create our own meaning. If you feel that there is no meaning in life, perhaps that is your own failure. Not trying to be harsh, just pragmatic. Your meaning could come from raising a family, writing a book, fighting passionately for a cause, etc. Don't be apathetic, be an active part in your own life. Dammit, getting preachy again. Take to heart what you like and ignore the rest.
