I peek around internet corners and every so often come out and say BOO! Like now. Hi.

Well...sadly I live around a bunch of religious people, including some of my friends so I don’t really socialize with others like me unless it’s within a certain group online.

I am not the most social of people, however I was encouraged by those close to me to make an effort. I found OMAHA after that, Omaha Metro Area Humanists Association. Sorta like this group but in real life. With work and my kids that is enough for me, for now.

I don't think that I have ever met another atheist here apart from the one I live with, outing yourself isnt a popular sport round here people who have stopped believing keep quite schtum.

"Atheist church" is too weird for me to contemplate. I use my tattoos to start the conversation about the history of religion; recently at a family meeting of dedicated born agains. They cannot deal with the concept. I do not care. I talk science all the time, having been trained in physics and optical engineering. The people in my circle of acquaintance do not care about that and only want to talk about themselves. I discovered that pastors priests and deacons must have an inkling about my leanings, because they will seek me out and begin their "The Art of the Deal- Jesus version with me. Very amusing.

There aren't any groups anywhere near where I live, I do all my atheist stuff online

I don't pay any attention here in Thailand because most people are Buddhist, and leave other people alone. The only time I've even been harassed is by Christian foreigners, and the moment they started, I distanced myself from them and canceled our plans together.

I haven't yet been in the US as an official agnostic since I only totally rejected Christianity after the hate memes hit my Facebook page during the recent election..all childhood friend white evangelicals, who I defriended.

I plan to return to Lexington, KY, which is urban and mostly secular.

It's like this: The dog sits at my feet, one cat at my elbow, another at my shoulder and the third across the room. It is all quite blissful. Would hate to ruin it by dragging another person into the mix.

I mostly socialize through meetup.com. I think a common interest in activities is more important than a common non-belief.

Most people are not to my liking either. An "atheist church" would be nice for social gatherings but I will never go to one. Theists would have more ammo to say we are just another church anyway. They miss (sometimes deliberately) the basic tenant of atheism--we do not believe in gods. That's it. That is the doctrine.
As a former theist who studied for the ministry I do not believe in anything supernatural. There is just no evidence. Emotion maybe, but no evidence. This means I cannot hang out with the majority of people in any belief. There is just too much ignorance and nonsense. I attract people and they attract me, but we usually fizzle out quickly once the nonsense starts. I go to social events sparingly and my social life is almost non-existent.

The people I am around do not talk of religion. When they do it is usually in agreement with my views or at least a conversation evolves. I do not have the time to place myself in the presence of people who think have a brain. (Don't really mean that someone may not have a brain, but the capacity for thought would be hoped for. Meeting people who agree with your values is a hard thing to find in the general population. I have been lucky, also if I find that I am within a group of people I am not compatible with I move onto another group, or section of that group. Perhaps my luck has to do with the fact that for most of my career I have been self employed, picking work mates was easy as I just did not work with people I could not learn something from. Learning how to cope with an asshole does not count, one should not have to do this, or if one is get paid well for it. I joined this group to find like minds and so far all is good. Of course most of you live on the other side of the country, for now that is ok.

I mostly don't! But I try.

Where I am located, there is no longer an organization or group of free thinkers within roughly 200 miles. (most left the state) Aside from my tiny (can count on one hand with left over finger/s) circle of rational friend/s, the only option to meet people is online. Agnostic.com is currently my primary resource to encounter those (the only type of people I wish to share my time with) people not infected by the god virus. If I were to lower my standards to include theists, I could have a large circle of friends including intimate physical relationships but I really have no desire to be around theists in a social setting.

I don’t socialize much.

I used MeetUp to meet other tabletop gamers, who I now see a couple of times a week for one of my favorite sorts of socializing. I've also used MeetUp to find people with whom I make music on a fairly regular basis. I keep flirting with the idea of going to a Sunday Assembly event, but I haven't made it a priorty yet.

Living in Oklahoma I've pretty much become a hermit. There aren't any atheist meetup groups unless I go to Oklahoma city so I work, take care of my kids and sleep. If it weren't for my computer I'd probably go days without talking to people.

So many sad comments about self-delegated isolation. There are many nones out there that don’t feel comfortable being OUT, I hope you have the opportunity to search for them.

Pretty much started with Facebook groups in my interests (board games, Dr who fan clubs, etc) tagged along to a few events, and offered to help. I now regularly attend conventions and gatherings, showing off nerdy props.
Actually, anything with a cos play event is handy. Being dressed up, behind a mask definitely help with social anxiety

I don't - I am not bothered if people have a god its not my problem as long as we can have a laugh together hoooray! Most people where I live now - N.Ireland, don't 'come out' because of memories of violence and 'The Troubles' thankfully I missed all that - But the wit and humour 'the craic' is good

I don't really. I do the mom thing with school and Scouts. Other than that I practice and compete in mounted archery, and do solitary activities. Been divorced going on four years and haven't dated. I'm over educated in a redneck community. Love living in the woods but not too many people who think like me around.

I go to school at Arizona State University @ 68 years of age and am having a blast. The stimulation is amazing. I can have a tendency to 'isolate' and I don't like it at all. I am comfortable in my skin and enjoy my time with me . But lately tired of jumping for joy alone

I don't much and I've been down here 20+ years. There is a group here but usually only 1-2 attend.
