Hi! Welcome to my group & I hope we meet up soon! :) I started this group because I wanted to meet other young, non-religious singles on the Westside. This group is different for three reasons: 1) Instead of debating/discussing/defending/explaining why we are non-religious, I'd rather spend our time hanging out and talking about everything EXCEPT why we are non-believers. LOL Our lack of religion is a mere shared common background - instead of the focal point of our meet ups. 2) This would be a …
