Are there any fellow atheists in the Fairbanks area who might be interested in starting some kind of group?
I would prefer to start something online first - and I'd be happy to start a community with people outside of my area as well. We could do something online.
I am just really passionately interested in the topic and I would like to get to know some others like me.

Of course, I welcome (calm, reasonable) discussion/debate with theists, too. :3

Ah. I didn't know.
Still, I'm more interested in finding people in my area specifically. I already have access to just general forums for atheists and such, and that's great, but I want to know if there are people locally, so I am posting here.

I'm agnostic.

I'm not sure how much there is to discuss about that. I guess after we got done discussing religion we could also discuss hobbies we don't have, languages we don't speak, books we haven't read...

Very funny, but there's plenty to talk about, and even if religion is not the only thing we talk about, it's still nice to have a group of people who agree with you.

Why? I'm just trying to meet possible friends with similar interests.
There has been no actual discussion of religion, and no nasty argument. What exactly is wrong with it?
You're saying "yuck" that atheists exist, or...what, exactly? I do not see the problem.

You might look into your local Unitarian Universalist congregation. It is a church, but only in the broadest interpretation of the word, as they welcome people of all faiths, as well as non-believers. It is my understanding that a fairly large percentage of most congregations are agnostic or atheist, but are still attracted to the social justice aspects of religion.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I know about them and there is nothing about church that attracts me. (I'm an anti-theist as well as an atheist, so it would not be a good fit for me.)

Go_North, do you mean to tell me that you're an unsaved heathen?

You need to find redemption ASAP. I suggest that you join an online church, so that you can accelerate the process of your salvation. You might want to Google "Landover Baptist" -- they can help you and others among the unsaved to see the light.
