A lot of us are pretty secularly lonely I see. I can't think of a single good friend I share a passion for atheism with. Sobering poll.

I live in the south, I’m the only atheist here.

If I get schizophrenia can I count my other personalities as good friends? If not then zero. But then I almost never speak to humans so... lol

20+
Most people in my social circle are atheists.

Tonnes. I'd say that the vast majority of my friends are athiests. Apart from the three clergymen, of course.

Edit: Then again, I'm from Australia, I studied geology, I've worked mainly in technical fields and I moved to the UK. None of which are pathways to believer central.

I'll be blunt.

I have friends, but I haven't a clue how many are atheist, or how many are theist.

To be honest I tend to make friends with either people who choose not to wave their religious beliefs in your face, or have no such beliefs to wave. Either way the 'Are you an atheist?' question rarely arises.

7. One of them is my sister .

I attended a Meetup with one other atheist. That is the extent of my contact with atheists here in lovely St Pete, Florida.

I know hardly any and I'm also not seeking them out. I'm going to start telling door knockers that my religion is "non-delusional."

Zilch. Moved from San Francisco, where I had many, to the bible belt, where I have none. I haven't made a single friend here actually. It's very sad.

I don’t know many who are out, but the ones I know are freaking amazing people.

Over 5? Wow. Just about everyone of my friends are atheist and I’m not discriminating.

Three and counting. I play on a senior softball team. All conservative and all religious. There are prayers after each game. I just walk back to the dugout. Never been asked why. We talk and have a beer after the game.. We have one woman. She is Morman. She enjoys a beer or two and has choice profane words when discussing liberals . My politics are known my religious views are not. I enjoy playing and like them all except for the above reasons

unknown...rarely discuss religion with anybody...

Weird question. I count among my good friends people who are kind and who believe all people have the unalienable right to live with dignity. This includes Atheists, Agnostics, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hare Krishna and Spaghetti Monster devotees.

I wish I knew more. Most of the atheists I know are people who I interact with online, none of whom know me personally or have met me IRL. I also know some through a couple of atheist meetup groups where I'm a member, but I don't attend their meetups often because they usually discuss religion more than if I'd attended church, and/or there's always 1 or 2 guys holding court, sucking up all the air in the room, dominating the conversation and not letting anyone else get a word in edgewise and only responding positively to people who agree with them. I stopped attending those meetups regularly for those reasons and consider the people I've met to be acquaintances, not friends.

Most of my co-workers are religious, which initially surprised me when I started working in public education, but I've learned over the years that a lot of religious people feel education is their 'calling,' so that's why there's so many of them. It makes it hard to find a true friend-base at work, though.

I know of only 1 atheist at work, an older woman who volunteers on campus twice a week. She's very sweet and doesn't broadcast her atheism. I found out she is because I was broadcasting mine. I don't do it often at work; I pick and choose those battles carefully because it always stirs up negative reactions and feelings, which I don't need at work. But this was one of those days when I'd had it with the religious nonsense and I spoke up. I made a fairly innocuous comment, but the volunteer recognized what I was saying and later told me she shared my feelings. It was good to hear, but since I see her only sporadically at work and we have very different social circles and lives, we don't interact outside of work, so she's just an acquaintance who shares my philosophy.

There may be 1 other atheist at work, but I don't know for sure, since he's never openly said anything, at least not to me. I know he's no fan of the catholic church, which he made clear when we attended the funeral of a co-worker's family member a few years back. It was held in a catholic church, and he made several whispered comments on his feelings about the catholic church. Not surprising, since he's a gay guy, but I don't know if that hatred translates into atheism.

I belong to a Humanist group, most would say they're atheist if they they had to go beyond the Humanist label.

I have no idea how many atheists I know, as I simply do not talk about religion in normal conversation.

Not sure...a few. Suspect many are still in the closet.

Dozens, at least

I'm in my 30's, having more than 5 close friends is itself an accomplishment

A better question is how many Christians do I consider a “good” friend.

I know a lot (thank you atheist meet-up!) and my three closest friends are all atheists.

Well and truly above the 5+ amongst my good and trusted friends plus many more among my 'acquaintances,' etc. But I'm in Australia and despite us being saddled with a Happy Clappy Jesus Chappy Faithfool as Prime Minister for the next 3 years ( if the Liberal-National Party don't have another of their 'party spill' episodes that is) we ARE still a very Secular Country.
