I had an epiphany the other day that I at least need to find the scientist circles and join my tribe. One of the guys in this men's group thing I go to posted something about a 256-year-old man's secret to longevity, then another one gave me a bunch of resources about UFO coverups.
They're perfectly nice people, and I enjoy spending time with them. But they believe in magic. I need to be around people who at least have a clue how real science works - at least some of the time. I love real scientists - they're usually wonderful people to hang out with.
Suzzer, aren't you in Southern California? You have a problem finding atheist circles? I would guess that most bars or city rec leagues or other random public groups are predominantly filled with people who are either mainly atheist or culturally religious but not religiously religious.
You may have just latched on to a weird men's group. If you try out some other groups, you should eventually find some people you prefer to hang out with.
You could join some sort of Democratic group, but then again, you might just get triggered even more than reading this forum!
