I read with interest and admiration of your rational 'coming of age' especially as your still quite young.
In Australia, I never felt 'out of place' being an atheist but I still find an underlying theist approach to morality and the afterlife. I refer to them as the JICC, Just In Case Christians that back away from any theology debate but remain with a pinky finger grasp to a deity as 'get out of hell free' card. In a way I find them even more annoying than strong theist because their ideas are not in the least thought out.
As suggested, you will find atheist friends because as they say 'great minds think alike'. All the best to you
