Atheism is simply a lack of belief in any god, so what's there to talk about in the absence of theists? Now if there's an actual point to a group beyond that, why not just make it secular and forget about the religious focus in the first place?
Yeah, I realize this site is kinda a "shared-atheism" thing. That's why we invite theists to make things interesting.
My town is full of commited religious folks. Church always comes up. If you bring up certain topics, the conversation might not have the chill effect you intended. People will be having fun, drinking, then you relax and make a joke and boom. Wwjd? Lol
I met some really awesome atheists when I had the group. We still have contact. We often coincide at other community events that involve the arts, politics, charity, etc. We don't plan to, but coincidences are great! I can let my heretic sense of humor run wild around them. No risk of getting the pointing finger lol
