This is my first posting. Hoping to connect with a like minded-open minded group of people. Living in an area where people will shun you for stating your status as Agnostic or Atheist is a bit difficult. Nice to be able to speak freely. I am fortunate to have a supportive and caring family all in various forms of Agnosticism (sp?) or Atheism as well -but they are spread out.
I live in a similar area near Romney WV... maybe even more-so... very religious Trump-lovers. But I love the quiet, privacy and mountain views. Best to just keep beliefs to yourself... which is exactly what you want them to do about their own beliefs, both religious and political, so it shouldn't be a problem. I don't find many local folks to mix with but luckily have friends among those Liberal DC folks who have 2nd-homes in the area. 100-miles from you.

Glad you're here, Michele!
There are many witty, intelligent people. That's why I enjoy it. Hope you do, too.
Here's your welcome song:

Hi, Michele, and welcome to the website!
By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve, so here's some info, in case you need it.
For members who are open to dating, certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible others are with them.
You gain website points by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns website points, and helps other members get to know you.
Commenting on posts and writing your own posts earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.
If you want to date, the website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.
Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find others with similar interests..
In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page.
Thanks so much for all of this information. That was very kind of you!
