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.
Many of us certainly have urges to learn the "hows" and "whys" of the universe and existence, but I personally have come to the conclusion that sometimes, certain things don't have a purpose. I don't think my life has a pre-determined purpose. Now, that being said, I can find purposes for myself and still feel fulfilled. Mostly, I just try to live ethically and do what makes me happy.
