Atheism: How Did We Get Here?
Who Knows? The best guess is probably that we somehow evolved from primitive life-forms. But there's no explanation for how the primitive life-forms got here. For no reason at all, the world came into existence, and eventually so did we. That's about all we can say.

Waaaaaaaay off.  The best "guess?"  These people think evolution is just a wild guess?  They are correct about how there is no explanation for how the primitive life forms first got here, though.  "For no reason at all, the world came into existance?"  No!  Some say the universe is infinite (aka, has always been here) and others simply don't know.  Not knowing is a lot different than claiming that there's absolutely no reason why it came into existance.

Atheism: What is the Purpose of Life?
There is no possible long-term purpose of life from atheism. Life came about by accident, and so anything that happens is completely by accident. The best way to live out life as an atheist would be to "eat, drink and be merry". If any purpose were to come to the fore, it would probably be to be strong enough to survive. This is based on the "survival of the fittest" part of the theory of evolution. All people are simply by-products of a cosmic accident, and so the most logical way to approach life is to look out for number 1, and preserve self at all costs...not surprisingly, this is basically the unwritten credo of modern society.

WOW...do people really think this about Atheists?  I think I'm just going to stop here because I really don't feel like nitpicking everything from this site.  I'll just say that I read through all of them and the ONLY one they got right was What Happens When You Die?  If anyone wants me to explain my point of view on any of the points made on this site, I'll explain them, but this site is ridiculous and even a little insulting.  It's obvious from the tone of the artice that whoever wrote it is trying to make Atheists sound like they're morons that lack critical thinking skills.
