To be honest, the first thing I thought after playing with this for a bit is "hmm, I should show this to my religious friends".

Weirdly, it gave me a depressing feeling about the purposeless of life and an unusual feeling of sympathy and envy for people who deal with it through religious faith.

You don't need religious faith for your life to have a purpose. The only difference is you need to/get to choose a purpose, instead of having one dictated to you (which is often vague anyway).
