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.

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?
You are assuming that all religious people are brainwashed, or that religion itself is a brainwashing process. However, what are you teaching your children about religion, God, how the universe came to be? I would suspect you are "brainwashing" them with Atheism, evolution, and the Big Bang theory. The body county that Atheistic governments has accrued makes all religious body counts look like a mole hill. "Conform or die" is wrong whether it is a so called Christian or an Atheist holding the gun.

No, YOU enlighten me!
You stated that evolution and atheism were connected. You stated that there was a goal somewhere in atheism. And it is to you to clarify, explain and defend or retreat from these statements.
Or to fuck off!
You must have missed my original post. I was asking what is the end goal of Atheism. I was only making a suggestion to get the ball rolling. You objected, and now I am suppose to answer my own question?
Please go find another thread you can follow.

Its not an odd goal at all. You just don't seem to understand it. We don't wan't that word to exist in the future because we hope it won't be needed because there won't be any religion to differentiate people. No jews, muslims, christians or hindus ect... just people
The only way to obtain that goal is by force because man has always wondered if there is a God or not.
