Do any of you wish that these segments of our understanding were larger in society so that we could have more of a support system in life in general as many in the Religious world experience in their gatherings?
I belong to an atheist and a skeptics group in my area, with lots of crossover members. We are a support for each other. In past years when I was active in various groups, there were activities and talks given, but few friendships made, before the internet. Now, with a greater openness and availability of information, I have actually become friends with with a number of these people.
Seems you are lucky and am glad you have others in person of like mind
