Being an atheist, for lack of a better term, I believe that when I die that is the end of the ride (to stretch my analogy above just a little further).
Knowing this and sharing the same existensial fear of death that we all share (even those that believe there is life after death fear death in this way... it is one of the main reasons to cling to life after death, it asuages the uncertainty that death represents) I take my purpose in life to enjoy it moment to moment.
Why wallow in the inevitable? We are all going to die. We could die at any time. Enjoy every moment. Live a good life. Have few to no regrets.
I see no need to look to God for this purpose... but that's just me. Silly old atheist.
