I think you meant atheism does not have it's own purpose. What function it has depends what material difference it is perceived to make in relation to the furtherance of some other purposes.

Are there any things in the faith you admire? Religious people you respect?
The only form of Christianity I appreciate is the form that renounces the notion of a Christ above man, and denounces the concept of man living for the purpose of any divinity.
There is nothing in the religious notion of faith that I admire.
There are religious people I admire greatly. But each of them I would admire much more greatly still if he was to add to his admirable attributes the additional virtue of skepticism towards his religion.
