Atheism 101

I am looking for help for a class assignment I have on worldviews. I'm hoping someone here would be willing to provide a brief explanation of atheistic views on selected questions. I realize no one person can speak for all atheists but if one person could take a bit of time to express their view, it would be very helpful. These forums seemed to be a good place to ask given the conversational activity. I have to say there is more timely conversation here than on world religion sites I have visited. Thank you in advance!

1. Origins: Where do we come from? How was man created? What does that mean for our place in the world?
2. Meaning: Is there a purpose to life? Is there a common purpose or is it subjective? How do we know what it is?
3. Morality: How do we differentiate between good and evil or, if you prefer, right and wrong? What is the "compass"?
4. Destiny: Simply what happens when we die? How are our lives fulfilled?

I know this sin't structured as a debate but again, I would appreciate any views people want to share. I may ask clarifying questions, though, to be sure I understand. Thank you again!
