Asked a different way, what is the end goal of Atheism?
There's an end goal?!
Dammit, why don't I ever get these memos?!?
Ever heard the expression herding cats?
That's what it's like getting atheists to agree on something.... except on the non-belief in deities.

Evolution has an end goal, which I understand to be that humans, or whatever orgasm beats us there, become transcended "godlike" beings that shed these mortal bodies and live as immortals.
The ones that are not viable, don't reproduce and end the lineage.

If you stray onto the religious path your evolutionary journey will be abruptly halted by the taint of religion, and your great, great, great, great, etc, grandchildren will never know the eternal bliss of godhood.We tend to see it as the bliss of brainwashing... does that make sense?
Does that make sense?
Does it make sense to want the future of mankind to be as indoctrinated and brainwashed as it is nowadays? I mean, look at all the multiple religious sects, each indoctrinating their children and perpetuating this division... and resulting strife, war, waste... Does that make sense?
