Hello from Springfield TN. I don't know any Atheist in person and I feel a bit "alone" here in this little town. Been an atheist since early twenties. Realized I was just lonely and faking the religion.

I live about 45 minutes from you. Your not alone. I have been really surprised by the number of younger atheists I meet here. Granted there in their mid 20s, bit there are many of them. You may want to check out the Sunday Assembly in Nashville.

There are more of us than you realize. Many in the Midwest are still afraid to come out publicly, after all there is no real benefit and a price will be paid for most of us that do. It's always good to for us to know we are not alone no matter where you are.

Yes I know there's danger here for sure. Good to know I'm not alone!

@Piedescent I would think online is much safer than being public about it in some of the small Midwest towns. I know a few who have been attacked over it. It's cost me friends and clients so that's what I mean by a price to be paid about being public. I've seen some studies that suggest a pretty good percentage of those sitting in church every weekend are actually atheists. Some as high as 50% but that's something very difficult to get accurate numbers on but there are some for sure. There are social benefits that go along with joining that community so there is a logical reason for it.

Don't feel alone! You've got the people on this site, plus there are probably literally dozens of us in the area.

Hi, I also live in a town that 41 cuts through a little north of you. I went on a drive once with a date and ended up in Springfield by accident. I was also faking the religious thing at the time, so I totally get it.

Welcome.

Welcome, from Berea, Kentucky--where even the hippies got religion.

Hello from Chattanooga. If we were closer, I'd invite you for some coffee. I know plenty about feeling alone and it sucks. Though I bet there's at least a few other like-minded people near you. Maybe try contacting the Nashville Humanist Association?
