It isn't an end game. From what I have read on your posts, I think you are reading to much into atheism.
Atheism is simply saying god does not exist.
That is the only thread that ties atheist together. We might disagree about EVERYTHING else.
I personally think, you might want to read up on different atheistic and antagonistic positions.

None, atheism is just the disbelief in god or gods, not a worldview, not a religion. Is that so hard to understand?

As to purposes and philosophies, you will have to ask each atheist individually.

There's a goal?

Evolution has an end goal, which I understand to be that humans, or whatever orgasm beats us there, become transcended "godlike" beings that shed these mortal bodies and live as immortals.

Perhaps that is the end goal of Atheism? If you stray onto the religious path your evolutionary journey will be abruptly halted by the taint of religion, and your great, great, great, great, etc, grandchildren will never know the eternal bliss of godhood.

Does that make sense?
