i believe in god, also believe he takes no active part in the progression of his creation, set it in motion and is allowing it to go as it goes.
i wouldn't say our lives are meaningles or that he thinks so, but rather that they're our lives. our lives to become something great or to fuck up.
i also believe we have a "soul" in a sense. explained better here

there is no religious sense in my belief of god, my exploration of needing to why has led me from general relativity, to quantum physics, to superstrings, to m-theory, to timeless theory.
one thing i've found in my research is that most of the physicists that define our reality also have a belief in a god, or higher power. in the chaos we seem to experience lies an underlying order that is very elegant, intricate, and unbelievably simplistic.
i can't believe in accidents that come out perfectly.
there is a quest for a unified field theory, a theory of everything, that michiu kaku says will be as simple and easily understood as e=mc2, who hawking says if found then we will truly know the mind of god.
