So I recently "accidentally" came out as an Atheist to my family (don't ask how its hard to explain lol). But anyways, I was talking to someone who found out and they said something like "but since you're an atheist, doesn't that mean you have no purpose in life?."
I think that's something that most people who haven't researched the matter themselves think, is that non-believers don't really have a purpose in life anymore. Because we don't have a "Heaven" to look forward to or a Utopia of sorts, they think we're just waiting here on Earth to die. This is not the case.
Honestly, as an atheist, I think my own purpose in life is to make the world around me a better place to the best of my ability. I mean, I don't know about you guys, but that's what it is to me.
What about you guys, what's your "purpose" in life?
