Why not us? because we have very little in common. The only thing atheists have in common is the lack of a belief in god. But I wouldn't mind joining book clubs. I think it'd be cool if in every neighbourhood there're things like weekly book clubs, astronomy club, history club, things like that. So you go every Sunday, learn something new or teach something, and then have lunch together. So that these sort of social activity is available to the nonreligious. But atheist gatherings, I mean, what do you do there?
Edit: Probably not a good idea to have those kinda clubs on Sunday, that excludes believers. I don't like segregating religious and nonreligious, I want the religious to learn how to coexist with others and not push their ideas on others.
And the same can be said to religions. They have one thing in common: They believe in God.
I like your idea of making book clubs , etc. They sound good
Yes, we should include them if they want to tag along.

I am not better than a theist dude because I believe something different from him. I am simply different.
Edit: But an AF get together does sound like fun. It's a shame we are all spread so far across the world.
Yes, we're in the same position with theist. But I believe we're more sane and open minded than them
And yes, we should not discriminate. I agree with you. I was silly(what was I thinking? Maybe too much patriotic?
) awhile ago to say we should make it a exclusive group .Yes AF get together would be awesome. Sadly as you said we're so far apart.
