Indeed. It cracks me up when an Abrahamic fundamentalist calls atheists amoral, nihilistic, and lacking meaning.

Amoral? Amorality is whining, "I have no view, or even a means of forming a view, on a moral question, other than deferring to – and never questioning – my god's decision."

Nihilistic? Nihilism is sighing, "We're sinners, we're scum, we're powerless on our own, all is lost without complete subjugation to my god (who might choose to torture me forever anyway if I don't do the subjugation thing right)."

Lacking meaning? A lack of meaning is deciding, "Only my god has meaning... so by definition, family, friends, laughter, experience, adventure, life, legacy, and everything else the atheists and I share in common must have no meaning."

Yech. No wonder more and more people are turning away from the amorality, nihilism, and meaninglessness of religion.
