Everything that I was, everyone that I knew, and everything that I did was mormon. How do I find non-mormon friends and find a new community to identify with? Will this emptiness go away? I love science, but I no longer hold a relationship with my fellow humans because the only ones I knew were mormon but they now think I'm an anti-christ and I have now succombed to some form of evil doctrine. I don't have too many people I can identify with and chat over a cup of coffee or go on hikes with. I am still friends with mormons and I love them dearly, but I am seeking for friendships that I can identify with and wont be afraid to ask the big questions and who love science as much as I do. I want to talk about physics and quantum theory! I want to have real discussions!

Try Meetup.com. There are lots of special interest clubs that use the internet to connect but meet in real life.
