That's because only dogmatic atheists would frequent those places. I am an atheist / agnostic, and have been my entire life, but I've never understood why I would seek out community with others over a shared non-belief. So what if we both don't believe in some particular thing? That's no basis for a connection at all. I also got over the need to let others know about being an atheist in about 6th grade.

- cmdrfred 10y agoI think is the difference between atheist and anti-theist. They are united by their disdain for religion.
- unclenoriega 10y agoThis is it. In a largely secular society, an atheist group makes no sense, but in a largely theistic society, an atheist group is natural.
