Welcome, Ruebe! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Young Atheist Women, Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since North Carolina's climate is changing.

After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.

Hi Ruebe AnzeNette Holmes

Welcome to this world of rationality, truth and peace, where common sense and science lead to freethinking wisdom --- as you know as a non believer like us.

We invite you to join the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 720 discussion topics and 3600 members.

Welcome aboard! =)  Hope you're doing well today...

Good place for being an atheist.  ^.^

Have you found any of the local groups?  We've got a few fairly active ones.  TAM, FAAST, and TFS are the first ones that come to mind.  There's also a local skeptic group that meets fairly regularly, but they usually meet in Raleigh.
