<DIV><BR><B>How Does an Atheist Respond to the Question, <I>What Is the Purpose of Life?</I></B><BR><BR>For a Christian, it is faith that gives their life purpose. In his best-selling book <I>The Purpose Driven™ Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?</I>, Rick Warren says, ?You must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.”<br><BR>But as a non-believer, your purpose resides in yourself; it is yours alone to discover and develop. It's about choosing to live your own life for your own reasons. No one can dictate your purpose. You decide.<BR><BR>This book will help you understand and appreciate why freely choosing to help and cooperate with others is the true path to finding purpose. Life does not need purpose: Purpose needs life. To punctuate this point, <I>The Good Atheist</I> includes inspiring biographies of humanity's true heroes?men and women who did not waste their lives as slaves to a God, but rather found purpose in enhancing life on this Earth for all of us.<BR></DIV>
