Beyond yes and no.

There's certainly no god, and most rational people, if not able to completely denounce the idea, can at least admit that there is no evidence if HIM existing. Yet many people still base all their actions on a myth. A very dangerous thing.
Even buddhism has its share of dogma. What is enlightenment and nirvana if not "heaven". Just another "thing" to strive for. It's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yet, anyone who has ever tried to find a rainbows end knows it just keeps fading into the distance. Why do religions always promise a reward at the end, if only we can be good enough, or practice hard enough? And why do humans always seem to need a reward? If buddhism, a religion with a pretty good track record, is just as misleading as the Big 3 (judaism, islam, christianity), then one comes to the conclusion that maybe the concept of religion itself is somehow faulty.
I don't believe in god, yet still there is something to all this that I just can't seem to put my finger on. An interconnectedness, a unified field, SOMETHING, that only comes into consciousness when thoughts and actions are intentionally quieted down a bit. There is a sacredness to all this that is beyond yes and no. If you can't hear it in a dogs bark or a thunderclap, look into the eyes of a child, or your own for that matter, and it becomes obvious that life is not meaningless, with or without god. But meaningless might be the wrong word. And I don't think there is a right word. Isn't that what religions try to do? To pin down the un-pin-down-able?
Certainly there is a sacred aspect to existance, a recognization by consciousness of the marvel of itself. Yet as soon as one tries to write down an experience of experience, it becomes static and useless in pointing the way back. Whenever humans try to turn the sacred it into a formula, it fails. It quickly becomes dogma and rote, stale and dead. Even worse it becomes just another hierarchy and a justification for murder. Terrible.

The truth...

No one anywhere, at any time, has ever had any kind of lasting happiness from getting what they want. Therefore chasing things is pointless. What you get you will eventually lose. Or you might not be able to get what you want and will be miserable about it.
This isn't something I made up, it's buddhism. But it's also not something you want to take someone elses word for. Just watch your own life and see if it's true.
