Since there seems to be a relatively small number of us in a few liberal strongholds and some of us living in the conservative fringes, just wondered if I'm alone here?
Well, you've got me here in Cary, just west of Raleigh. Granted this is part of a (relatively) liberal part of the state, but it's certainly not San Francisco or Austin. There's a difference between how many actual atheists and agnostics are here vs. the ones who actually admit it.
I'm not but I did vacation in Asheville with a girlfriend in 2001 if that counts. We toured the Biltmore, drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway, wandered through the Grove Park Inn, etc... We stayed at a great old B&B called the Albemarle Inn. Beautiful state.
You might want to try the "Meet Members"/"Map View" feature, it will display pins on the map for members in your area.
Well I grew up in Asheville NC. Have lived all around the world. Am now residing in Western Tennessee.
@Gooniesnvrdie It has always been a bizarre mishmash of conservative culture and liberal freedom
You might be able to fill the corner booth at an IHOP.
Yum...
@RedskyRiver Don't tell anybody, but I love that place. shhhhhh
Probably more than you would expect.. I grew up here and have lots of friends here that are secular.
People like us are hard to find out there. I lived in NC for a while I was stationed at Ft. Bragg(Fayetteville) after I got out the Army I moved to Asheville then Highpoint and I don't recall ever meeting another atheist.
When were you at Fort Bragg?

@Airbornejoe786 If you had stayed a little while longer you would have heard of a show I did there called Rock Beyond Belief. First (and probably last) secular event ever done on a military base.. so I've heard anyway. Was started by a Specialist Justin Griffin stationed there. We started working on it in 2010 and finally had the show in 2012.. Fun times.. There were, and I'm guessing still are, plenty of Atheists in uniform, just not willing to admit it. There is a club there though for them. I was the Production Manager. That's me on the right with our key Speaker Richard Dawkins and Justin on the far left.
