As others have said, atheism is just the absence of belief in gods. There's no purpose to it--it's not a religion, philosophy, or ethical system, it's just a state of being (the state of not believing in deities). Asking "what is the purpose of atheism" is like asking "what is the purpose of not believing in alien abductions?" There's no purpose, it's just an intellectual position.
