Aren’t there secular clubs that can have a large social element like rotary clubs or book clubs or even some sports like golf for example?

I guess you could also try joining a church where it’s basically acceptable to be an atheist like the Unitarian Universalist church although that would maybe be too spiritual.

UU, mainline Protestantism, Reform Judaism. Religions that ask for nothing but attendance one day a week and don’t believe in anything uncomfortable for nice university educated people have been collapsing since the 60s.
Bowling Alone is a great book about the complete collapse of these sort of groups in America.
