Some of our members do live that far away, and there are now splinter groups which are forming into their own strongholds depending on what area they're in north, west, south, and east of us. It'd be interesting to know if there were other atheists closer to you, if you could suss that out.
Some people do it just so they can hang out with other parents and not have to do it through a church group, or have drinking buddies who won't frown at them.
