I live in Christian, Republican-dominated Eastern Washington. As a Democrat, environmentalist, feminist and hiker, I joined:

1. Women's hiking group
2. Library book club
3. Democrats of North Central Washington
4. Citizens for Peace
5. Anytime Fitness

Right here's a good start. The more you post; the more followers you develop. Stay with it. Bolster and detail your bio, and post lots of pics...not just of you smiling...but you doing things....that's bound to increase your chances.

you can search people from your area that are on this site

I use meetup.com to meet groups of people. There are a few atheist groups in my area.

I know the feeling. Same thing here in the bible belt of East Texas. Our people are out there. You’ll find them. Especially in CO.

Out in Grand Junction, the Unitarians might be the closest thing to atheist. Ha ha. Try to find professionals in the medical field, or other scientist types. I know there are some atheists over there, but probably hard to find. I have a household full of good atheists here in the front range, if you ever find yourself in the area.

Use the internet looking for "Meetup Groups"in your area, many subjects there; Hiking clubs,dining out,camera,software, robotics,etc.

find Meet-up groups, start one, contact people here from your area, facebook, twitter...

Also, change the category of your post of general and hellos to Progressives and Socialists or share the post with other groups like atheists, bible belt survivors and other groups.

I agree with the others. Start or attend a Meetup.

Try Meetup.com . They might be able to help you with that.

Thanks for all the comments guys! Lots of good suggestions. I’ll look into the Unitarian church

I have the same problem myself, that's the reason I am on this board. there is freedom from religious Society in my area. and they do have meetup groups I have yet to make contact with them. I like you am constantly frustrated with the fact that I cannot find like-minded people in my day-to-day life. I am a gun guy therefore I must be a Republican. I don't really have a choice I have to swallow the whole agenda.Feel Free at any time to argue with me on any subject might be fun

Move to Kentucky that all we have. I also would like to meet atheist and liberal mined people and sure not in this area all I see is MAGA hats.

FIND THE UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST!

You won't be disappointed.

Meetup.com basically said for atheist groups in my small town (Seneca, SC) "you fucked, dude."

I used to meet with a group of humanists from Clemson, SC, nine miles away. Largely, they discussed liberal democratic politics instead of religion.

Move to Boulder? Lol

I agree on checking out Meetup. Around here (well, sort of) we have Atheist, Freethinker, Freedom From Religion and Humanist Meetups as well as ones for Progressives and whatever. You will find more in the more densely populated areas. You could also try a Unitarian Universalist Church. They tend to be populated with liberal type people and amny Atheists, but they can vary widely in how "churchy" they feel.

Initiate a meet up group for free thinkers or join one in your area.

Create your meet up group.

Two Englishman at a diner in Montana and one asks the waitress "What would you recommend for my vegetarian friend?"
"I would recommend that your friend leaves Montana"

Probably there is a group of your region/state/country here, or in facebook, or in meetup or other aggregative social networks.

Same here. Blue in a Red State can be difficult.

Some communities have agnostic groups...sorta like AA. A Google search should yield nearest group.

I feel your pain....LOL I also live in a very repub/christian area here in Texas. There are quite a few members on the site from Colorado so perhaps some of them will contact you. Good luck.

Well, I'm not in your area.
But "like minded", perhaps
I's gladly strike up, or have a good conversation any time.
