Default Secular/Liberal Religious People in Southeastern Wisconsin?

I'm looking for agnostics, atheists, and deists near Whitewater, Wisconsin to start a secular group with, or just to hang around with. Show me where you're at!

I'm about 2.5 hours from you . I make regular trips to Madison and will be visiting relatives and friends in Fort Atkinson sometime this summer - if you're interested in getting together, drop me an email and we'll keep in touch!

Here is a list of known Wisconsinites:
  1. Maverick
  2. hezekiah jones
  3. JAC (haven't seen him in a while)
  4. Gooch's Dad
I know there are others lurking about (IIRC, there's a n00b from Milwaukee and a lady from La Crosse, as well) but that's the list off the top of my head, at present.

You're kidding right? I was born in Madison and lived in Wisconsin off and on for many years. With the exception of various UW campuses everywhere else is Republican bibleland. Come down to Chicago. (Actually I hang out near Milwaukee now and then and have a trip every year to Door County).

Cool

Hey danlowlite! I am from Rockford too! Well, technically Machesney Park but that's close enough. It's great to know there is at least one other freethinker in this uptight area. (:

Here's what his/her neighbors are like in Whitewater:

My suggestion is to hang out at the Kettle Moraine bike trails and meet some nice people. You live in a beautiful area.

Time to raise some holy hell at the Baptist Youth Camp. Me and my friend will have a lot of fun terrorizing them this summer. Woo-ha!

By the way, just about any backwater small-town you go to will be infested with church-going conservative drunks. I said to my roommate the other day I could sum Watertown, my hometown, up in 2 words: "religious drunks". We had the most bars and churches per capita in the state at one time, and still have a helluva lot. So it's go to church to confess your alcoholism, and then drink like a fish at one of our many crappy pubs.

Oh well. I'm only 19, but I'm all up for boozin' and cruisin'. This is college. Then again I'm not a drunk.

Default chiming in from...

Richland Center, in the SW part of the state.

I'm only about 1.5 hours from you. Have car, will travel. PM me and perhaps we all can try to meet up sometime! I like the state park idea that was stated earlier....
