Do you regularly meet up with other atheists/agnostics? I do about once a week. I love the fact that I can speak about my atheism with others that are like-minded. I have actually found out that there are several different groups fairly close to where I live, and I live in the bible belt (Texas.) One group I meet with is a social/activist group. The other is actually a book club for atheists and Christians. One month we discuss an atheist book. The next month we discuss a Christian book.
I belong to the Omaha Metro Area Humanists Association, there are gatherings nearly every week, but I don't make all of them. However it is a great group.
If they're was one near me i would go, i have not heard of one being around here tho

@DUCHESSA thank you i know of Meet up Group
@ScienceBill72 Mine were meetups....Unfortunately, the Atheists groups in NYS are few and far away.
@ScienceBill72 Try in FB; there are several groups of Atheists...they may know more.
@DUCHESSA i will give it a look up , thank you much
Interesting... I may send you a message. I'm a bit of an introvert but I am in your area. I may be interested in attending one of those meet-ups.
No problem.
Near my hometown in southwest GA, I joined an atheist group in Nov or Dec 2012. We would meet maybe once a week for game nights or discussions. Unfortunately I had to move to Rome, GA in April 2013 for a job. Thinking about it, I don't think I've met any atheists since moving to Rome; however, if I have, then nothing came of it.
No, folks here tend toward the Christian / Catholic side of the street. Mostly I just smile and move along.
Yes, I go to a UU (Unitarian) fellowship. All there are open minded and mostly belong here.
I belong to some Atheist/Freethinker type meet ups in the area.
