Religion fills a social void, how do you get social belonging? Outside of this site of course
if it weren't for golf here & lawn-bowling in AZ i'd have very little contact with people.
when i was younger & drinking i would go to bars, play pool & sometimes get into arguments which resulted in fights.
i do kinda miss those days. it's like when i was in the Navy we'd go ashore with enough money to know that we were going to get really smashed & maybe lucky with a girl. but the biggest thing was the sense of adventure.
I have a fairly active social calendar, and manage to entertain myself without "resorting" to a church or synagogue for my interactions! There is appeal in the society of a religious fellowship - if only it did not involve a god or religion! That said, I would like to find more social activities with like-minded people. But how to find that in a region? Are there atheist/agnostic groups that meet and socialize without it being a gathering to push an agenda? By that I merely question if atheists and agnostics get together for social activities with no more scheduled than visiting?
(I just started a group for others in agnostics.com who would be interested in connecting with others who like to go RV-ing with their pets, please check it out! [agnostic.com]
@Rustee I belong to an atheist group that meets to socialize and not to push an agenda. Check out meet up or start one.
Having never been religious, I would have no idea.
In general, I keep to myself. I'm a bit of a recluse.
As long as it’s not a ‘brown recluse’
?
I have my circle of friends. I also participate in plays and musicals at the local arts center.
