Isn't life's having a purpose dependent upon whether or not a God created the Cosmos or not?? If the Universe simply erupted from a naked singularity by chance, I think that theoretically life could be purposeless which is a concept few people would embrace. Therefore, the majority are willing to believe in the existence of a God, basing their morality and positive behavior upon their acceptance of a reward system overseen by God. And, since the majority of the world's population gravitates to one of the organized religions with their manuals (bibles) outlining expected behavior, then culture in general will adopt the concept of life's having a purpose, and that will become the prevalent idea by which we operate, generally giving it little thought in our every day lives. In addition, ego centric as humans tend to be, they are more likely to believe that life is purposeful since, by corollation then, so are they important to the grand scheme of things!

A baby in the womb of his mother could theoretically ask himself the following questions.
What is the purpose for me of growing legs and arms if they are of no use here? What is the purpose of having lungs in this aquatic medium if I can't breathe air? What is the purpose of having eyes if I can't see?
Besides I will soon die to this world- the womb world- and there is nothing after this world.
Death is mistakenly considered as non-existence. It is in fact a word that means change from one type of existence to another. It is going from one dimension into a higher dimension of existence.
Death even in the physical sense does not exist. All the atoms of our body continue to exist. In some other form.
We were born to this world dying to the "womb world". We must die to the physical world to be born to the spiritual world to which we belong. Man's reality is spiritual not physical.
The purpose of this life is to acquire moral virtues which will be our instruments of progress in the spiritual realities.

I have provided links to you for the following terms.
"World View" and "General Semantics".
There is also an article by Kahlib J. Fischer but I cannot find it easily accessible to the public online.
