And don't forget to state your highest hope. That shouldn't be to hard for someone who thinks atheistic worldviews allow for meaning and purpose.
It's a nonsensical question, based on the assumption that one must have one penultimate purpose that assigns meaning to the rest of their life.
Meaning and purpose doesn't simply evaporate without an ultimate eternal purpose, anymore than someone's life ceases to have any meaning or purpose if they don't get into their college of choice, or follow the career path their parents intended for them.
A purpose assigned to an individual by a group other than that person is artificial, and saying the individual cannot find purpose or meaning in daily life because they don't have an ultimate aim is just silly.
