Ok here's the big secret of living without god (i.e. being an atheist);
You make your own importance in life, your own goals, dreams, aspirations, desires. Your life is in your hands. If you don't know what to do with that, it's not atheism's fault or godlessness' fault.
Being free to dictate which direction your life should take and what makes it important is one of the greatest blessings (irony intended) that being a godless heathen gives us. It's liberation and a gift, you seem to think it's a curse. Perhaps you were too morally dependent on a "God" to begin with, I don't know.
Now your moral responsibilities should lie with those real, material, feeling, empathic creatures around you, not some a contract of being born into slavery to a supreme dictator. I don't see what all the fuss is about, to me it's easy. Be the best person to those you care about, those who care about you. And don't be a dick to everyone else.
