Do atheists search for the same thing and, if so, what is their source or method? I think most atheists don't see any purpose at all.
Thanks for starting this thread, it's been a while since we had a 'Question for Atheists' thread.
It's impossible to speak for all atheists, we have about as much in common as all theists. Freethinkers would like to know these things too, but are not so desperate as to prefer a made-up answer over 'I don't know'. Not being able to stand not knowing doesn't entitle anyone to an answer to a question whose answer hasn't been found yet.
