To have fun and meet new and interesting people,
and learn about world views that aren't the same as mine, specifically the religious theists' point of view of the world.

There are billions of dollars spent on advertising for churches and catholic/christian based organizations all over the world. Atheists are a minority, however we are starting to reach out and get through to more and more people everyday. If we can stop just 1 person from being brainwashed (the same way you think of salvation) then we have accomplished something. Will this work through conversation? Who knows, but then again the question could easily be turned around. Why do religious people answer us? Do they think they will convince anyone? Thats the whole point of a discussion/debate.
What it comes down to is we are trying to promote free thought. A foreign concept to you I'm sure.

To learn. The more I learn, the more I can teach. This is part of a process of personal growth for me, and it has been an amazing and enlightening experience.

Well, you should ask what christian's aims are on Yahoo Answers, too, if you ask about atheists.

Defend rationality, reality, science and atheism itself from ignorant superstitious people.
Also I can explain why monkeys are still here.
