By definition atheism in and of itself HAS no purpose, no goals, no "end game" as atheism is NOT A "THING". It's the absence of a thing, that thing being the belief in gods.

This is NOT to say - as many theists do, either mistakenly or mischievously - that ATHEISTS have no purpose. We can have all SORTS of purposes, find all sorts of "meaning" in life and strive toward all manner of goals, but none of this is founded on or derived from "atheism" because atheism ISN'T A THING.

If what you mean is "why be atheist" then speaking only for myself : HONESTY. Intellectual and emotional honesty. There IS no evidence of the existence of gods and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

Does this help?

I'm in it for the C KIES!

Atheism itself has no endgame. It's merely the disbelief in any deity.

As for me personally as an atheist/anti-theist my endgame is the end of religion itself. Not through militant means mind you, such abhorrent measures cannot be abided, but through reason.

An analogy I like to use is that; religion is a disease, and medication through rationality/science/humanitarianism is the way to cure it.

What is the end game of the theory of gravity?

The abolition of capitalism.

Asked a different way, what is the end goal of Atheism?

It's not exactly what the common atheists' end game is as it is what the statist/socialist/communist/fascist etc. end game is. Like a vast majority of democrat and republican voters (mostly democrat) they are but ignorant pawns/ soon to be slaves to government. The point is to increase atheism so that they can say that all rights are not rights but privileges given by government. Atheist are also more controllable as well as more apt to criminality as "if we are equal who are you to tell me that it's not ok to beat my dog or kill someone?" A great example is the leftist view of the constitution. Being a "living breathing" set of laws it's ok to just throw out any you don't like and create whatever you do like. Sound familiar? It's what Obama's been doing his entire presidency. With no principles besides "whatever society agrees upon" atheism is the beginning to all "pure democracies" whereby the statist can use misinformation, disinformation, and other forms of propaganda and lies to control the beliefs and ideologies of the people. And back to my main point, without a "higher power" than "man" atheist are more apt to be manipulated and controlled and directed... which is why over the last one hundred years fascist leaders, dictators, communist, etc have murdered over 200 million people, not including the deaths occurred from the EPA world ban on DDT which is estimated on saving over 500million people and virtually if not actually eradicating malaria and other diseases.
