There is no 'end goal' to atheism. It's simply a lack of belief in a god or gods.
Can you define what an end goal would be to a lack of belief?
No, it doesn't make sense.
The end goal of evolution is not for beings to become 'godlike'. that's nonsensical. Evolution is simply the adaption of the organism(s) to the environment. It's not a linear process of 'we started out like simple creatures' to 'now we exist as gods'.
There is no being that is more 'evolved' than others. Consider a clownfish. Are you more evolved than a clownfish? Could you live underwater as much as a clownfish could live above it?
Evolution and atheism are mutually exclusive. I'm not sure where you've got the idea that they're somehow linked? Same with secularism. Secularism has nothing to do with atheism either, so again, I'm more confused than anything at the points you're trying to make?

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.
Perhaps that is the end goal of Atheism? 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.
