Greg, I think many of us share your concerns. But, as they say, there is strength in numbers, and we're becoming more focused and cohesive. We can make ourselves heard!

For those who are interested, my wife & I - who are members of an atheist meetup in Hagerstown and one in Winchester - just started a meetup in the Eastern panhandle. Check out: http://www.meetup.com/Mountain-State-Freethinkers/. Our first meetup is scheduled for June 9th.

how do we go about organizing such a thing ?  I live in Jefferson County, and would be thrilled to help arrange such a thing?

Seems like a few of us are in the eastern panhandle... any possibility of a meet?

Hi Logan! Welcome to the WV group. I'm not sure where everyone else is, hibernating? I certainly can relate to your experience. The solution? Activism in my opinion. What do you think?

Hello everyone. Just wanted to add my voice to this group and say that I am an atheist living in southern West Virginia. Being an atheist can be tough in WV (particularly in the more rural areas). I know that my high school did not respect the separation of church and state in several instances and let students bully their gay classmates with little to no repercussions. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

I am in the east,  would've thought given my (relative) closeness to Washington DC, that there would be oodles of others, but if there are, they are hidden.

Do we have any atheist hoopies in the northern panhandle? I live near Wheeling.

Welcome to WV!  If you are ever in the area, feel free to check out the Morgantown Atheists.  We have plenty of events which you can find by going to http://www.morgantownatheists.com/ or joining our Facebook group.

...crap...didn't finish:

I didn't consider how strong the cultural influence around here would be.
