Now that the preamble is out of the way:
No, I don't believe there is any form of higher power to which humanity as a race is answerable. Nor is there any justification for forming that conclusion, whether we're talking advanced alien progenitor race or an actual bona fide full-fledged god (which would be too silly for words).
I don't see how the follow-up question regarding the purpose of life necessarily follows, particularly as I don't "don't believe in anything"; but like others will say I make my own purpose, subject to ability, desire, motivation, opportunity, societal constraints etc. "No fate but which we make ourselves" and all that.
What's with the "his"? If you want to conduct an impartial survey, you might want to keep an eye on potential biases. Just a tip.
And it's not a requirement that we disprove a claim. That the existence of this entity popularly known as "God" remains unproven is not our problem.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
