Ok, maybe not as passionate as you about atheism, but I do agree that if seek our own happiness without depriving others of it the world can be a better place.
Agnosticism.
Never said God doesn't exist, but I certainly feel that if he does, he's not getting his panties in a bunch over me not worshipping him. Primarily because that would be incredibly petty and unreasonable. Traits I would expect from the Greek/Roman pantheon as opposed to Christianity which tends to describe its God (or at least his son) as a force of love, acceptance and moral behaviour.

Christians have "two" Gods. One you described, is from the New Testament. God from the Old Testament is his direct opposite.

Scientifically: We are here to just continue and or improve on the Human Species.

Philosophically: We are all put on this earth to do something very important, though many of us never fulfill our importance.

I find it very odd that people ever reply with "Reproduce" as a serious answer. We reproduce because a lifeform with the urge to reproduce came about and obviously that would be the only one we see. Similarly we're on this planet that is so perfect for us because it's the only place we could come about, just as we are atleast.

All life reproduces because life that doesnt died off billions of years ago. That doesnt say anything about it being a "meaning".

The meaning of life is to grow your self.
Yes grow your self.
Not like the plants but our minds and leave something behind for the future generations to see for if you have nothing to remeber you by then you will be slowly forgotten and when a man is forgotten then he is trully dead.

Yes, except they consider it to be one God. And even amongst those who favour the New Testament are individuals and churches that believe that:
Best case: Don't believe and you don't get into heaven.
Worst case: Don't believe and you go to hell.

There is no Hell in Christianity.

Hell was invented by the Late Christians / Catholic Church and used to replace words/terms like "Sheol" or "Gehenna".

Eat, fuck, shit, sleep. Oh, and vidja, of course ;)

Vulgarity aside, I personally think that there is no meaning to life. Some asteroid, by coincidence, crashed into the earth carrying the first few life forms and from that we evolved into what we are now.

I don't feel empty, rather that because I have no purpose, I can do whatever I feel like.

The sky is my limit.

I've always had the impression that Catholcism is a form of Christianity, what with the worship of Christ and all.
And whilst I won't try to use Wikipedia and claim its 100% factual, it does state (in the hell article) that various protestant faiths believe in hell also.
