I wish I had more Atheist and Agnostic offline friends...It would be a relief to have liberating conversations over coffee (or your choice of beverage) about things that have nothing to do with God or me being crazy about not believing in a God.

Is that too much to ask? ? It is. That's why I have a lot of online friends with whom I can converse. Eh, one day it'll happen.

Also, I must add that I probably have opened myself to "unique" inbox messages from faceless profiles or questionable beings from another planet... Lmao oh well, there's a block button for a reason.

so where do you live?

I think a lot of openly non religious people, and I'll use that general term, would like to connect with like minded people in life. I know I would. Religious people congregate. That's one thing they do well. Turn up at a religious place and there you are. Not the same for the non or anti religious. I had hoped of maybe making a group of friends here on site, with whom I would have contact. But it's not easy to do that, and I've set that aside. I imagine those of you in large cities where there are lots of members from here might be better able to do that. Hope so.

In Ottawa, I feel religious with the agnostic leanings I have. Most people never even mention religious stuff at all, and if you ask them, I think most just say they are atheist. Possibly the crowd I tend to hang out with, but maybe there is a north/south thing? Anyway, I'm new to this site, so I just thought I'd make an idle harmless speculation to get my toes wet.

In the US South, people wear religion openly and assume you belong to a church. They even ask strangers which church they belong to. So, it gets annoying after a while. Even simple conversations often have religious undertones.

It is very different. Lol.

[americanhumanist.org] Check this out, it will give you Humanist groups in your area. I am a member and now VP of the Omaha Metropolitan Area Humanist Association. Great group of people. We do have a meet up group, but we got started through the American Humanists Association.

Oh, this will be quite useful! I appreciate this information!

Wow! I found one in my city! Now the next step is to actually show up to a meetup. That will be fun! Lol! Gotta shake the nerves off. Ha ha! Thank you so much!

@CatiValti23 My experience has been that the Humanists are some of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Check out meetup.com

I've heard of this but I was leery of using it. I shall give it a go then.

Okay, setting up my profile was fun! Thank you for this suggestion! 🙂

I too would like to meet more Atheist and Agnostic off line for coffee. I have some friends who have absolutely no belief in anything beside death being the end. I would like to explore more thoughts.

Tell me about it! It gets annoying after a while. It's like, "have you ever considered other ways of thinking?" I totally get it!

It really is nice to have. I've got a group of friends I can't wait to get back too, and we can talk all night and the supernatural never comes up. I consider myself extremely lucky to have them in my life.

Hope you find a couple fairly soon. Good luck.

Hopefully, your luck will spread to me! I need that group where I can have a deep conversation about myriad topics! I used to have one when I was in college, but alas...our belief systems have changed since then...well mine has.

@CatiValti23 keep looking. They're out there.
