so because you didn't think there was a god you went borderline suicidal? Does your life have meaning now grobiling over some god? Would it matter that the reverse was true for me? When i was a xtian (and i mean a bible thumping homophobic coo coo xtian) i delt with severe depression for years. I was in the hospital for attempted suicide twice. I prayed and prayed yet nothing happened. I begged for help from my god but this all powerful all knowing all present merciful loving god seemed to miss those prayers. My purpose in life was what? To thank jesus for everything? To go to church and do the same old same old and get no answers but yet still believe? I was suppose to have "faith". Breaking my chains was the best thing as it was for loads of fellow atheists. You sir just need to smoke some weed and put your life in to your own hands. Now yes, i know that is a heavy load but man up. Smoke some weed and do a little "soul searching". Something because this whole i was lost but now i am found is just a escape that doesn't get you anywhere but wasted time. You were depressed not because you were a athiest you were just depressed and that is one thing you reflected on and let the depression run you. Been there. Done that. There isn't just one purpose there is multiple ones you just have decide on yours and go for it.
