Regardless of where you go, you'll run into religious hypocrites. I kind of use a don't ask, don't tell mindset. Respect me and I'll respect you. Don't force your religious views on me and I won't express my views on you.

How about Minnesota?

New Englanders have a Mind Your Own Business approach, no churches every 200 yards like I saw in the Carilinas, and Vermont, NH & Maine are not expensive (compared to Connecticut)

I honestly don't understand when this question gets posed. Ive been an outspoken atheist / anti theist my entire life. I live in a fairly religious state as well (not bible belt, or anything mind you) Ive had minor problems with the occasional individual, and open laughed at a couple of public institutions that have odd religious attachments.. Ie: Hospitals, and jails. professing religion or a loose 'spiritualism' is a sure way to better treatment in those places, but I treat those circumstances the same as I do when I encounter a child that still believes in santa. I smilingly play along, so as to not deal with the bull shit.

I feel like being a atheist is only difficult if you actively go out of your way to make it an issue.
(In the states)

If anyone enjoys sci-fi movies as I do check Luc Besson's " the extraordinary adventure's of adele" it's great. I am a fan of his because of his other movies like the 5th element, adele is subtitled because its French. I just love those kind of movies for some reason(subtitled) now she's a woman of substance and very resourceful, I promise you it's good. I love movies. one of my favorites.

I live near Portland, and never had any issues as an atheist either when I lived there or here in my little suburb. Portland has its crazies, no doubt, but for the most part I believe Portlanders to have a "live and let live" kind of attitude.

You know the drawback to living in the midwest is that conservatism where if your not like those folks then your shunned. Fortunately not everybody feels that way, but many do.

I would say anywhere you want

Here in NM, Silver City, is very liberal and open to gay/transgender and anyone really! The only reason I did not move there is, I don’t care for ‘rolling hills!’ But, the people are very open!

Cincinnati is pretty good. It has a reputation for being conservative, but I don’t see it much.
