I don't see that pointing out a lack of purpose is a negative implication of atheism though, I see it as just being realistic. If theists insist that without God there is no purpose to life then show me what possible purpose another life could have, and why it would differ from this life except in terms of time.

Agreed. Noteworthy in the here and now.
