I always thought atheist beleif was more a private thing. Same seems to go with Liberal thinking people, realest. Seems all my life I have sounded by people who had opposing views in all the social,hobby, groups I have been apart of.

There are meetup groups in many places because it is often difficult to meet other atheist especially in the bible belt.

I guess being around the comfort of like kind people is hard to find except in big cities. Maybe a summer get together combined with a vacation could be a good idea., Sort of like a national convention of sorts. Seeing all these Web friends would be interesting !

Houston had the Free Thought Convention too.

Our meetup, btw, doesn't focus on discussing religion although some meetings are specifically for that. We have a lot of people and Houston is large, so meetups happen in many different areas of the city (and suburbs) and sometimes they involve helping others, sometimes they are purely social around something people want to do. We have a book discussion club, a book lending club for nonreligious books, pub meetups, bowling meetups, meetups for women specifically, meetups at the gay pride parade, meetups at the art car parade, meetups to go see movies or comedy acts, etc., etc. The convention idea is nice, but that can get large. The meetup groups are generally smaller in terms of numbers attending any single meetup, so you can actually get to know people.
