Well, in defense of many atheists and general non-believers in intelligent design, they don't place their morals and life-purpose in the same boat that religious people place theirs. For instance, I'm a Christian, and can base my morals around the teachings of my Savior, Jesus Christ. But if one chooses not to follow the teachings of Christ, they still have a moral prerogative to do what's right. For instance, theft and murder are sins in my religion, but to a non-Christian they're simply not the right thing to do. Regardless of how one chooses to view religion in general, the Golden Rule has always been a good one: you should treat other people in the same way that you'd want to be treated.

These people have a very well-meaning purpose in life, well, most of them. I have no qualms with someone who doesn't believe what I do, yet still strives to better themselves and the world around them with their actions.
