I would define purpose as a reason to exist or working toward some sort of goal IDK? How would you define it?

Similar to yours.

If defined as "working toward some sort of goal", then we can have purpose without God.

And human societies and persons can dictate/determine our reason(s) for existence. Nothing about either definition you provided necessitates that a God has to exist for purpose to be a thing.
