I think I can speak for most of us in saying that it is a pretty lonely experience being a non-theist in the bible belt.
Personally I would like to change that, and I think a meetup group is an important first step.
Let's talk about what it is to be an Atheist. How to promote Atheism as the moral high ground. How to debate theists without getting into a fistfight. How to inform xians that they subscribe to a polytheistic pagan religion, etc, etc.
One of the things I would like to accomplish this year is a public showing of "the God Who Wasn't There" by Brian Flemming in a church.

New member“Jacksonville's religious population is large and outspoken and it's pretty hard to "come out" as an atheist without making a big deal of it.”

New member“I'll be moving to Jacksonville January 1 2010. I feel incredibly alienated (my wife is a Christian and her entire family I would classify as fundamentalist Christian) and would like to meet others who are in awe of life just not in a religious sense.”

“I consider myself an agnostic. I'm skeptical about most religious claims though feel that a person has the right to believe what they want as long as it doesn't harm others. I'm VERY adamant for the separation of church and state.”
