Sounds about right. Essentially my idea (better to have ideas than beliefs ;P) is that the Universe is itself the higher power. Kind of pantheism without the mysticism, and I'm really into Taoism as a philosophy.
It's not that there's some greater being up there, but the universe is in itself one large body made up of all of us smaller beings, in accordance with the universe being a fractal. So there are probably different forms of consciousness out there, some of which would be considered higher because they're at a higher evolutionary stage, but they're not god, just other life forms, not so different from us really.
The higher power is essentially just nature doing what it does, the order (or chaos) of the universe. Life perpetuating itself.
The meaning of life is whatever we make it. We are the perceivers.
IIN that many modern day atheists use ridicule as a conversion tactic?
