I guess if you lived in NY, and supported the Miami Marlyns, you will simply feel out of place. Atheists probably would feel better hanging out of other atheists.

Maybe, but in public schools, college graduations and, for me, PLDC and other Army events, we are kind of stuck in that environment. In Basic training there was the thing of we could work Sunday morning or go to church.
An interesting aside was that in PLDC a Wiccan wanted to deliver the invocation and they wouldn't let him.

I prefer hanging out with people of similar interests. Religion doesn't come into it as a disqualifier. Maybe atheists don't put that much stock in something they don't believe in. Religion might be a disqualifier to the religious, though. Someone who embodies a 'threat' to their beliefs and all that.
