(March 18, 2016 at 11:51 am)Mister Agenda Wrote: In 2003 I had knowing met three other atheists in my entire life, two of them while I was still a theist. I decided to use Meetup.com to start a social group primarily for atheists that year because I felt atheists in the USA were too isolated from each other. This was in the heart of South Carolina, a few years before The God Delusion came out. I had identified as an atheist for about eight years by then.

I thought I was just a garden-variety skeptical atheist, but maybe I was on the cutting edge of the 'New Atheism'....

South Carolina. A bunch of my bible thumping relatives moved there some twenty years or more ago. Is there anyplace on earth more deserving of the title "fundamentalist stronghold"? You poor bastard.
