> But what happens when you can't attribute meaning to anything? Do you revert to religion or suicide (Those were the three options for camus)?

Is this not the basis for The Myth of Sisyphus? If I recall correctly, Camus rejects both religion and suicide as ultimately absurd.



No, the universe is absurd. The response to absurdity is giving up (death, credulous belief) or acceptance and defining meaning.
