Purpose of life? I don't have one.

That's very doubtful because at the end of one's life, what matters are relationships with others. And, atheists tend to have fewer close, supportive relationships, and obviously no relationship at all with the creator - as compared to active believers. That is part of the reason that atheists, statistically, die younger than active believers. Further, any current relationships will end permanently, and they have no hope for any future relationships, unlike some believers.

I honestly don't understand your question. Are you asking if atheists wish their life had more purpose, or if they think it does have more purpose? And are you assuming the "faithful" don't look back on their own life?

Atheists go about their lives. Depends on what one has accomplished. Going to church isn't the only thing someone can accomplish. I help an elderly woman every day.. I don't go to church so good enough for me. I don't ask for much. Going to church as far as I'm concerned in a monumental waste of time.

Although success is relative, when seen objectively, atheists would have enjoyed 'GEMS' life [Guilt-free, Ethical, Moral & Successful] and hence lived a more purposeful life, as enjoyment is a common purpose to all living beings. (bar the spoilsport guilt-trip sin-obsessed religionists)

I've no idea. I've no notion of how to compare my existence to a life I've not lived in over 25 years. I for one, have not wasted my time worshipping any one or more of the literal thousands of god supposedly in existence.
