Science (with all it’s subcategories) DOES NOT make this assumption.
This is the difference.

Not all religions provide a meaning for life Esquire. Not all religions have the assumption there is a meaning. In any case, there is a difference between "Religion" and "Faith". I was talking about "Faith". Most specifically MY faith.
Faith can lead to the discovery of a meaning for ones own life, and the meaning for life in general, but one does not have to possess a desire to know the meaning of life to have faith, nor have faith to desire an answer to the meaning of life.
