HI, I'm Katie or Katt

Hi I'm Katie and I am sooo excited to see that there is an actual site like this. I'm from a small town and have never actually meet another atheist so I feel so much less alone knowing there are so many other people out there like me.

Welcome to the asylum.

Have you discovered the Atheist Experience TV show, which broadcasts on public access in Austin, TX? That might make you feel a little less alone. They get people calling in from all over the US, many of them stuck in podunk towns, like you.

You can pull up their archive off of their website, www.atheist-experience.com, or there are literally hundreds of clips from the show posted on YouTube, if you just search for "Atheist Experience". I could link you a few dozen of my favorite clips.

Welcome! It sounds so weird every time I hear someone say "never actually meet another atheist", as everyone I grew up with are, or at least have a deist view...

I must not live in Ohio. :)

Welcome Katie,

I suspect you have met a couple of athiests, its just they will have kept their opinions to themselves and not rocked the boat (ark??).

Welcome. I know how it is to be "isolated" i suppose you could say.

Hi Katie. Welcome to A/N. I'm lucky I grew up and live in the semi-godless, liberal bastion known as Massachusetts. It's a part of this country that religion hardly ever comes up in any daily interactions. Meeting a deeply religious person is a rare exception here, not the rule like where you are. I almost feel cheated... no wait... I feel very fortunate.

Welcome!!!

Great to see a fellow Ohioan on the site! :) Welcome to the group, Katt. I am actually from Groveport, OH and have been to Utica quite a bit. If you ever want to discuss current issues in Ohio, or just vent to someone, feel free to message me. :)

For the record, I have never seen another Ohioan as an Atheist, but I notice there is one that lives near Columbus as well, other than yourself. Welcome to the club, and I look forwarding to friend'ing you on FB as well. ;)

Hey Katie, I have heard that in some areas of the States it can be rather hard to find fellow atheists. I am rather lucky to have grown up with so many, wont use the word rational, but more critical thinkers. My brother was a great inspiration with that, always enjoyed it when we got church door knockers. But was polite enough that one time he actually thought I was "interested" because I kept them talking. I was actually waiting for him to break and insist on ripping them a new one. It is kind of like watching a car race and you are just waiting for the explosion to come. I eventually sent them on their way because the explosion never happened. Very strange brother I have. Well, I seem to have gotten distracted and off topic. So, welcome. I am also rather new here, but am excited and ready to be as active as possible.
