I find that staying where I am and being myself are the best things in my life at present, though also finding others to discuss my atheist ways and reasons why I am an Atheist are also great as well.
But then, Australia, thus far, has always been a Secular Nation and will hopefully remain so even though we seemed to 'cursed' with a Happy Clappy, Jesus Chappy and his cohort of religiotards in government at the moment.

I've given that some thought, and think that the best place to live would be 'off the grid' somewhere. Perhaps a mountain-top, with 360 degree fields of fire, for at least 2,200 meters out, in every direction.Such a mountain-top redoubt, would have its own electric and water supply, be bulletproof, be encircled by ccv cameras, concertina wire, and a pack of vicious, man-eating Rottweilers. In addition, it would be equipped with AAGMs, ATGMs, and a mix of GPMGs, HMGs, and Barett guns, that could be fired by remote control, from a central monitoring room, deep in an underground bunker. But alas, only Bond villains, politicians, and billionaires could afford such a setting!

Other than that, if you like the company of intelligent people, I could only recommend a University town. They can be noisy (esp. on weekends), and the collegiate set can be infantile. But, at least, the used bookstores are a treasure-trove of un-loved, under-appreciated books!

People like who?

We actually are JUST like other people in the general case. However, because we exist in a majority religious hegemony, it tends to select for particularly independent thinkers and iconoclasts and contrarians and introverts and so forth to become atheists. We're the ones who make it out of the matrix in this particular environment.

Atheism is simply one of several possible side effects of critical thinking / skepticism / rationalism. Critical thinkers need to connect with people who can share their enthusiasms, which are not purely (or even necessarily at all) anti-religious.

Not all atheists are politically or socially liberal, but most probably are, and so the more liberal, egalitarian locales probably are best, all things being equal.

Depends on the person. I am from a big city and always lived in big cities (mostly with a couple of short term exceptions). I knew of and visited this archipelago and never imagined living here. My late partner, likewise from big cities, thought otherwise and even though she is no longer alive I am grateful to her for getting me out of Seattle when we did. That wonderful city has been overtaken by the money and corporate mentality. Luckily, this community is really trying hard not to let that happen here (and every summer we get lots of evidence where that will lead).

I live in a small farming community in Alabama. This is the best place for me because country people tend to be honest, independent and individualistic, and they respect those traits in others.

If I had grown up in a large city I’d be a different person and would want the social and cultural amenities that cities offer.

I don’t think a persons opinions about religion are all that important—we can live anywhere.

I think that we do better in the North and in college towns. College towns because people tend to be more educated.

Pretty much anywhere, except in bat shit crazy countries where if you don't follow the state mandated religion you can be jailed or killed. But you wouldn't want to live in those rat holes anyway. Even if you were a believer.

You're most likely to find larger numbers of people who share your views in bigger cities. People who never leave rural areas tend to be sheltered, uneducated and deeply myopic in their understanding of the world as a whole, which is the perfect environment for suspicious beliefs to take root and flourish.

The best places to live for any human is anywhere that freedom to express one’s own views and practise or not practise a religion are enshrined in law. That combined with good education, healthcare, social services, transport links, affordable housing and clean air, seems to be what any of us would consider an ideal environment. That ideal is possible at present in only a few countries...mainly the Scandinavian ones. Being an atheist does not mean we need anything different from the rest of humanity, and I personally would hate to only live in communities where everyone thought the same as me...much too boring!

It would be nice if there was a place that nones could say what they think without worrying. Maybe we should have a theme park for nones. Something like the Ark Encounter or Creation Museum.

Nones, have almost nothing in common save that one fact, that we have no religion, and therefore there is no one set of needs that fits all. There are a few places perhaps, such as countries who will persecute atheists, where it would not be good to be, but beyond that, given the choice, no two of us would pick the same fruit from the bowl.

I don't think I could survive living in the southern United States.

Everywhere, or how else will theists know of that atheists are (theoretically) normal folks?

I live in Florida and never had an issue.

You can live where ever you like, just use some common sense.

I don't see a need that is different. Some like seclusion, some like the spot light, most are in between. Some like the countryside, some like the city, most are in between. The only real difference, is the lack of a spiritual scapegoat, and the lack of believing in an afterlife (and even some non believers believe that). All other facets are pretty much the same. Eat, drink, live. Pretty universal.

We should be living everywhere.
We have the same needs as everyone else.
If we cannot satisfy them readily, we need to create whatever we need.

We shouldn't be congregating in little pockets in "safe places".
We should be living out loud and demanding our rights be respected.
As well as everyone else's.
