There are atheists mostly on these forums yes. My family are atheist although they don't label themselves as 'atheists'.
Most people I know on the outside are 'I don't know' or 'couldn't care less', or 'don't believe think religion is stupid and couldn't care less - yet not label themselves as 'atheist'' types.
A few I know of are religious. I don't really know anyone offline I think, who labels themselves 'atheist' as I do. Although many don't actually believe in God (hence they are actually atheists).
On these forums...yeah lot of atheists here lol. It IS an atheist forum. Do I seek their approval? Not exactly. Well, I don't seek it, no. Although I'm naturally happy when I get it and I feel that I got it deservedly
'Approval' and 'being surrounded' doesn't remotely effect my 'non-belief', my atheism.
I came here already as an atheist...and I like it here. Being here hasn't made me 'more atheist' (there's no such thing anyway, either I believe in God or I don't).
So no, I don't seek approval (although I'm happy when I get it) and 'being surrounded' doesn't effect my 'non-belief', my atheism, at all. And nor does approval effect my atheism (my non-belief) when I DO get it.
Because it is obviously to me, entirely irrelevant. None of those things address the question: "Does God exist?" whatsoever.
