I don't want to sound condescending, but since you're not an atheist of course you can't see these things from an atheist perspective. We are a social species; our 'purpose' is to exist as part of a social cohesive structure. I don't see why there has to be some grand purpose beyond that which we make for ourselves.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
