I mean over a long period of time, not just one lifetime. Also, please break down regions if you would like (like alliances, countries, friends, families, persons).

The point is to survive. A "goal" implies a set purpose, likely imposed by another being; that there is some purpose greater than the whole. Without religion, a "goal" becomes self-defined. We have no external arbiter.

The goal. To keep on reproducing so the species can survive. It's the same for every living organism on this planet(and probably the whole universe)

With religion, what is the goal of humanity as a whole? Serving god? Serving your particular god? Enforcing or spreading your religious beliefs?
I and many other atheists work to bring peace, protect the environment, promote justice, equality, conservation and racial/ethnic harmony. Do you?

Religions have been proven by successful life forms to be viable means of replicating their molecular structures. Religion is a codification of behavior; behavior of any organism is crucial to its survival.

To understand the Universe we inhabit. Religion is the primitive attempt to explain the universe without gathering evidence.

We exist due to the selfishness of our genes. But our genes got more than they bargained for, and we can now make our own goals. My goal is to learn what I can, to enjoy life, and to make the world a better place for my children. What's your goal?

The bumper sticker on the car says "He who dies with the most toys wins."
But with religion, the goal is Heaven, or hell if you're deceived.

To continue to survive, to learn as much as we can about the earth and ourselves. Are you saying that you think god only created people so they can worship him?
