I did a search and didn't come up with anything. Are there any atheist groups on here or Pagan groups as, I associate with that as well.

Thanks!

Hi, Demoncard! I don't think we have any atheist groups or Pagan groups, but you're not alone. There are other atheists, Pagans and other nonreligious people here. I'm one of them, specifically agnostic. There is a Sanctuary for Spiritual Support, but that's for limited religious talk. We're not allowed to debate religion here. However, there are a couple of groups for Christians and one for Buddhists. Maybe we need to start a group for those of us who are freethinkers, atheists, agnostics, nonreligious and alternative religious (like Wiccans, Druids, etc.).

I'm not looking for debate, just a community of like minded to discuss faith or lack of and how they deal with their issues.

You can try looking among our social groups, I think this one may be a good start

Well, maybe some people will express an interest here. Speak up, people!

There have been people who discussed a lack of faith in the Spirituality forum, but it's usually coming from people who believe, but are going through rough times and that's what's tapping at their faith. That might be an ok forum to use to discuss lack of faith, but if you don't want people to offer blessings and telling you God loves you and is watching you, you probably should mention in the original post that's not what you're looking for. As long as we stick to the rules, it'll probably be allowed.

Timgt5, how did you find that? I just looked, and it's not listed under the "Specialty Groups" section! What else am I missing? But thanks, because that interested me, so I joined.

Never mind. I saw the "Social Groups" link above the forums. What's the difference between specialty group forums and social groups?

Well, I'm not a fellow skeptic, but I do know for a fact that the social group section has both a skeptic section (which as beautifulfreak noted, is named "Skeptics") and a few Pagan/Neo-Pagan groups. I'm not sure where to guide you in regards to the latter, as there are, in my limited experiences, quite a few branches of that, few of which I have much knowledge on (though I do occasionally haunt...I myself am a Christian, but I love reading the viewpoints of others. Fosters understanding, IMO). lol Point is, they're there.
