The purpose of atheism is to teach people that it is okay to think and reason for themselves. It is to teach people about the evils of religion. It is to teach people that there might just not be a God after all and to face the real world as it actually is, not just as they want it to be.
***
Christian, what would you say the ultimate goal of Christianity is?
The goal of atheism is to guide and lead people to the truth that there is no God (not to delude or control people as ya'll would fool yourselves into believing).
Now what exactly are the honorable goals of Christianity?And Why?
***
This is your question exactly reversed and is just as valid a question as yours. You believe what you believe and that it is honorable. Atheists believe what they believe and that it is honorable. What atheists say, they say in as much earnest as any Christian ever stated his beliefs. If you can't respect qther people's beliefs, can you at least respect their right to speak those beliefs with the same hope to spread them as you hope for yours? To put it very bluntly, I think that your theology and version of religion really rather stink, but I would never suggest that you yourself should remain silent about them just because I don't happen to like them.

We don't need goals, as we are part of a belief and not a religion. The only thing that defines Atheism is "no god" and that's all. Why would we need goals if that's all Atheism is? As individuals we each have our own goals.
Personally, I'd just like the other beliefs to learn tolerance and stop asking questions to make us seem ignorant and cruel. Thank you for thinking that we "fool" ourselves, but keep in mind while you live for your God, we live for ourselves and our loved ones. I do good for good, many believers do good because of the percieved consequence of bad.

i will in basic terms talk for myself: there is not any perfect purpose (that i'm responsive to - yet I ignored the assembly final week). i could say 'some' no longer many, and particular, questioning is a factor of being an atheist, frequently conversing it relatively is the theist that don't think of an tend to settle for each thing without questioning to deeply approximately it. particular, if all of us have been to grow to be atheistic, the the tip effect could be helpful to all of us. i got here across a learn that correlates international locations with severe theistic ideals with greater crime and different destructive aspects. The greater secular a rustic, the fewer crime, homicide, drug abuse, fewer abortions, and so on.

Atheism is a result and so has no goals.
Whereas the goals of Christianity are to give power and sex to the church hierarchy through the use of a lie about a non-existent god.

We offer you freedom. Freedom to think and use your brain power. We offer you humanity without a need of an outside entity. We offer you a challenge to be who you are, to be responsible to that challenge and recognize humanity for what it is without a religious label. We offer you facts and proofs that have been proven over and over. We hand it over to you free of charge [no tithing] - we ask nothing from you, except that you take responsibility for yourself and others and you and all the others tell us we are wrong.
You claim to have all the knowledge of the universe by virtue of ONE book, that you claim to have read, but judging by this site I doubt that as the truth. You make claims that are unsubstantiated, cannot be proven even in the minutest detail, you believe there is a deity that lives in a cloud somewhere and are uncertain about a Jesus persona - three - one? Which is which or which is who. It took thousands of years of humanity before your deity showed up - maybe a few hundred years - plus or minus - never showed up after 2000 years, does nothing for anyone, no miracles, no knowledge, no information at all - NOTHING!
And you make the claim there is something wrong with us? Do you ever hear yourself talking? Making claims?

Atheism isn't a dogma; it has no goals. Atheists set their own goals, we don't need babbling priets, pastors, rabbis, or imams to give us orders.
BTW, the REAL goal of all religions is power and control of others, usually by inventing a god and claiming knowledge one doesn't have.
Atheism is honesty; we offer only proof, asking for nothing to be taken on faith. What religion can make that claim?

The goal of Atheism is to espouse critical thinking skills in the populace, to get people to not just accept things on face value just because a person in a position of authority told them to do so.
The ONLY agenda Atheism has in the U.S. at least is to ensure that the separation of church and state remains in place.
Why? Study your history, when the church was everything and people lived in fear of the church because they could be tortured or killed for even looking at a priest the wrong way. You want to go back to a societal structure like that? I sure don't.

Honour or honor (see spelling differences), is the evaluation of a person’s trustworthiness and social status based on that individual's espousals and actions. Honour is deemed exactly what determines a person's character: whether or not the person reflects honesty, respect, integrity, or fairness. Accordingly, individuals are assigned worth and stature based on the harmony of their actions, code of honour, and that of the society at large. Honour can be analysed as a relativistic concept, i.e., conflicts between individuals and even cultures arising as a consequence of material circumstance and ambition, rather than fundamental differences in principle. Alternatively, it can be viewed as nativist — that honour is as real to the human condition as love, and likewise derives from the formative personal bonds that establish one's personal dignity and character.
don't see anything about religion for the thing you believers think is honorable...............

There is no such thing as an ultimate goal of atheism.
Atheism is the lack of believe in a god or gods. Don't add anything to that.
As an individual, my goal is to make the most out of life, as Richard Dawkins put it.

I don't have an ultimate goal...as an atheist. I have an ultimate goal as a human being. My personal goals are to gain knowledge, wisdom, love more, have more patience, accept my mistakes and learn from them, respect life, etc. I want to learn as much as I can and not be stagnant.
