1. Does God exist? No. There is absolutely no evidence for any god claim so god propositions cannot bet taken seriously. Any idea the necessarily relies on the existence of God can be summarily flushed; e.g., the idea of sin.
2. Where did the universe come from? The Big Bang theory satisfies many of our observations to date. If your question is really 'What caused the Big Bang', the answer is nobody knows. Anyone claiming certainty on this matter is simply full of shit.
3. Does my life have a purpose? Only that which you give it.
4. Why do people suffer? Day to day, because we do a poor job of taking care of one another. Humans seem to be good at grouping people into groups of 'others' and then ignoring or accentuating their plight. If you are referring to things like natural disasters, it's somewhat unavoidable. Nature doesn't care about us so it's up to us to stay out of it's way, which today is still exceedingly difficult in some circumstances.
5. Is there life after death? No. There is no evidence for the afterlife.
6. Can I distinguish right from wrong? Yes, unless you're a psychopath or suffer from some mentally debilitating disorder.
7. Can people know truth? This is a loaded question depending on how you define truth. If a general use of the word truth is the understanding, then yes. If truth takes the meaning exhaustive definitive knowledge of any subject then I'll have to say we can approximate knowledge of this truth, but can never be 100% certain holding out the possibility of new information.
