My "unnamed purpose" is a self made purpose. We can decide our own purpose and future.
Whether you consider a purpose that is not based on an imaginary friend inferior or not, factual it is not.
I could say having a purpose without a Santa is inferior. Does this make it true? If I believed this to be true, does that make me right? No.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
