1. The point of my life: Loving my wife and children, being kind and charitable to others. Making humans, not some mythical god, the object of my reverence. Doing what I can to make this world a better place for those that I meet. Loving my neighbor, be he atheist, christian, muslim, hindu, gay, hispanic, black, asian or other. In short, the point of my life is love. Love not for some uncaring god but love for my fellow humans.
2. I have no idea what happens after I die nor do I care because earning some reward or avoiding some punishment strikes me as a very poor motivation for what one does.

1. I have life and will make the best of it while I can. I don't have to live for a god, I can live for myself. What I do I do for myself and for other creatures I share this planet with. I do what I feel is right, not what people tell me some imaginary spirit wants from me. So the point of my life is to simply live it in the best way I can.
2. When I die I won't exist anymore. There will be no afterlife, no heaven or hell, just eternal blankness. When I die, the only thing that will continue existing from me is the memory in the minds of the people who knew me and my earthly remains.
And additional info for all the religious people who think life without god is empty, scary and depressed: you're wrong, it's not like that at all.

Are you serious??? You people need to get out more. Atheists are people just like everyone else. Have families, children, pets, do great things for humanity, hope for world peace. NO ONE can 100% say what happens when you die. If you base it on your beliefs from the bible, koran or torah that's just what it is a belief. I personally lean towards reincarnation. After all, if there is a God don't you think she'd really be into recycling??

1. To learn, to know, to pass what I have learned onto others. To advance as much of the world as I can. It is my job to take as much of humanity as far as I can forward. Then I die, and the people I touched, it is then there job to advance the same thing.
2. The last electron passes through the last synapse in my brain, and I surcease to be. All I have done and was become memories for those that I have touched. The more I do in life, the longer I live on after I die. I live on in the memories of those that I knew.

1) To live it to the fullest; to be as happy as I am capable of and to make people around me feel better about themselves, and supply them information they are not capable to gather themselves (teaching). Accepting the inevitable with understanding and not fooling myself into fantasies, or allowing others to foist their fantasies off on me. Being someone who others will be able to be proud and happy to have known. And maybe even sad not to have around anymore, once I am gone. And doing that NOT because I am afraid of some hell fire or similar idiocy, but because that is who I am and want to be, for myself and those I care for.
2) The same thing that happens when you go into a dreamless deep sleep, which however you never wake from again. The same thing that happens to a light bulb once the filament burns out. And I am fine with that. No unrealistic expectations!

1. to live it. Are you just here looking forward to an "after" life? What is the point of that? The same as the meaning of my life I suspect.
2. It is not the same for all atheists, but for me, that is the end. Gone.

1. The point of my life is what I make it, based on resaonable assessment of the world and life around me.
For my specific purpose, it is "achieving Eudaimonia for the world".
2. Death is the cessation of function and thus the cessation of self. Everything else moves on but yourself and you cease to exist.

i might choose to point out that it rather is extremely feasible to settle for the two the organic phenomenon evolution and the medical theory of evolution via organic determination at the same time as last a believer in a god or gods. Dr. Kenneth Miller may be an remarkable occasion. i did no longer decide directly to no longer "settle for" the Christian faith. i'm in basic terms no longer confident. the completed loss of credible helping data for any of the claims made on behalf of your meant deity, besides via fact the actuality that limitless different religions interior the international make comparable claims on behalf of theirs with a similar quantity of information (i.e. none), makes it impossible for me to have self assurance the veracity of Christian theistic claims. and that i'm no longer able to declare that i can on no account settle for theistic claims. All i might desire is data. of direction, if the Christian god as defined interior the Bible did in actuality exist, i will possibly on no account worship it, via fact I frankly evaluate myself morally more desirable to the character as portrayed interior the Bible. yet with the present helping data, there is not greater reason to think that the Christian god is actual, than there is to think that the different god is actual, or certainly that Santa Claus, the easter bunny, the the teeth Fairy, the Invisible pink Unicorn, leprechauns, pixies, fairies etc. are actual.
