Imagine a world without organised religion, where it doesn’t affect people’s lives, but atheism still exists. What purpose would atheism fill in this scenario?

I don’t really understand the question. What purpose does atheism serve now? Who gave it that purpose? Who is the arbiter of such things?
Atheism serves as much purpose in my life as my eye color. It’s just a natural part of me and has been as long as I can remember. If I wasn’t an atheist, I wouldn’t be me.
As far as I can tell, the whole concept of ‘purpose’ when it comes to humanity as a whole is basically a religious one anyway.
