That's how we all think, so it's only meaningless if every thought you've ever had was meaningless

An individual gives it meaning. Meaning isn't something you can measure in a lab. It's a subjective interpretation.

Something that has a lot of meaning to you might not have any to me. And same the other way around.

Meaning always requires a subject to interpret it. It is... subjective.

God existing doesn't have any bearing on that.

Subjective means dependent on a subject, which in this means dependent on a conscious entity's (the subjects) interpretation.

The words on this page are subjective. To you and me they have meaning, but to a random person in China who can't read English they don't.

The same is true for all meaning. It has to mean something to someone.

So what word would you use when something needs to be interpreted by a conscious entity to exist, such as the meaning of words?

typically for communication we (as a people) agree to abide by already accepted definitions (not made up chit). one would think an atheist would be all about that. funny though they not.
