“ Hello. I am looking forward to meeting everyone at the book club! ”

“ I'm tired of being the "odd man out" in the "bible-thumper belt". Sick of having religion shoved down my throat at every turn and having "christians" trying to dictate to the rest of the world. Would enjoy discussion with like-minded non-believers. ”

“ Looks like a good thing. Once you're out of school the only place you really have to find new freinds is church and I don't got there so this is def. a good thing for me. ”

“ I want local Brights Meetups because it would be refreshing to be around others that share this world view. ”

“ I want local Atheists Meetups because I personally don't know anyone with my kind of world views, being an Atheist in a bible belt can be my big challenge sometimes. I thought it would be nice to meet people that understand what I'm talking about. ”
