"The point of life" implies that there is one.
If there is one, it can come from an external source or from our own subjective self.
The former is what traditional religions claim, and most settle on some form of "praising the Creator" as the point of life.
The latter is probably best captured by existentialism. I would recommend Camus.
If there is not one, then that is nihilism. I would recommend Nietzsche.
I think the choice is between God and Nietzsche. I picked God.

I'd say the latter is quite well captured by some eastern traditions such as Advaita-Vedanta or Buddhism, especially its essential aspects such as Mahamudra or Dzogchen.
