So... I did a seach of the thread and didn't come accross any atheists postings...Any in syracuse? I found one meet up group but it doesn't look as though very many attend. I did come across a few conservative and libertaian oriented groups. Hows the community for us liberal atheists?

Yea, those are the only 2 I came accross. I not worried about having problems because i'm an athiest but I'd just like to live in a city with more like-minded people. I'm the only democrat in my office here in orlando. My girlfriend made a McCain joke and a man who overheard the conversation made the comment "fu**ing nig*er, don't know nothin". Yea i'm kinda tired of being in a city full of rednecks. I don't forsee rednecks in syracuse but i'd kinda like to have since a community for once in my life.
My grandmother and aunt would both describe themselves as atheist liberals - very common around here, I think - and attend the Unitarian Universalist church on East Genesee St. in Dewitt/Syracuse. The UU is more of a spiritualist organization and the focus isn't on God... thus, it's attractiveness to atheists. May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society - Home
Only if you're looking for comraderie in that aspect though... not pushing you into it. I'm Roman Catholic so if I was going to be pushy about religion, it wouldn't be toward the UU. lol
Yeah, I think ajacques that you would definitely like the Westcott/University neighborhoods. I think that area, along with a couple of other neighborhoods close to Syracuse University, are the most "liberal" in the city and area.
I grew up in the Westcott/University neighborhood and can't remember a single republican or conservative person in the area More common, were neighbors with "anti-war" protest signs in the yards, gay/lesbian families, and families in which the parents taught at liberal SU. However, as an adult I became a conservative, much to my mother's dismay, but I don't live near there anymore so I don't count But even as a conservative I would choose to move back to that area because of how great that area of the city is. I also believe downtown lofts and and apartments usually attract more hip and open minded people as well.
Good Luck

Also, our area isn't an area that gets too high one way or the other, really. I think most of the people in the area are more of the "Live and Let Live" mantra.
It's either Live and Let Live, or just that no political or religious group can get critical mass because there's no money for funding, sluggish economy, apathy etc. Polarization tends to show up in areas that are more affluent, which Syracuse is not. People in the Syracuse area just are basically into surviving, not pushing political or religious agendas in any organized way.

True...Basically, people are trying to live. So, maybe it looks like Live and Let Live, when it's really just about trying to live.
