Anyone from Missouri? I don't know of any "free thinkers" in my neck of the neighborhood, but there is always hope! ;D Give me a sign I'm not the only one. I feel so overwhelmed by "the holy spirit" round here that I have to reaffirm my non belief sometimes.
Sorry, I'm safely on the other side of the Atlantic in good old blighty ;D
I'm way south in the butt of Brazil ;D
Welcome!

Free-thinker meetups (http://freethinker.meetup.com/cities/us/mo/jefferson_city/) You can use your ZIP code to find something closer to you -- I just used Jefferson City's because it was the only place in Missouri that came immediately to mind.
I was born in Joplin MO but I live in Denver CO now. I do NOT envy you being an atheist in MO. I still have lots and lots of (very religious) family there, so I know the drill.
My husband and I live outside of St. Louis. We used to meet with a group we found at meetup.com, but once I started working, it became inconvenient. Like BooksCatsEtc said, meetup is probably your best bet for finding a group near you.
Nope but don't be afraid to poke around online looking for fellow atheists. I used google to find a facebook group for GA within 10 minutes that meets in my town quite often. 235 people and counting all right in the middle of crazy town.
Missouri here!! Yee haw!!
