I once saw this question being asked to matt dillahunty by a christian he was debating with and he seemed to freeze when he was asked what is the point of life for atheists.
It seems like the most easy to answer question ever in my opinion. I personally live to achieve different goals, now im not exactly a high flyer in any sense but i love working hard for achievements thats just me. I love going to the gym and pushing it to the limit, ive had other times where ive dedicated months to learning spanish, or randomly learning about science, or other months where ive randomly got into doing art using photoshop and illustrator.
Theres a million things an atheist human can live for. exercising, learning, fucking, dancing, drawing, reading, writing. If anything all of these things are MORE important to an atheist since an atheist knows this is the only life they are getting so they better make damn good use of it and experience all they can while they are here.
Its the same thing when asked why would an atheist ever feel the need to be kind. Because this is the only life im going to get and it feels good to know in short time im here ive tried to do a bit to make the world a little bit of a better place to live in.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
