Am I unusual, I've never met another atheist? [View all]
By which I mean not that I've never actually interacted with another atheist, I'm sure I have but I have never knowingly done so, I've never had someone say "Hey, you're an atheist, so am I" or something like that..
I've lived around this area for a big chunk of my sixtysomething years and have no clue where I might go to deliberately meet another atheist.
Anyone else here never knowingly meet another atheist in the flesh, so to speak?

I wonder if a Christian in the USA can even conceive of never meeting another Christian?

I bet they avoid talking about it entirely until they are very comfortable with people..

I meet them frequently. In fact, I meet more of them than I do self-identified religious people.

No need to assume with Christians, with rare exceptions they let you know very quickly..

I'm a bit of an oddball in that I probably know more closet Christians than closet atheists

Why should something which is a minor part of my life be a subject for casual discussion?
