> I wonder where all the younger atheists/humanists are

Home, sleeping.

As an atheist, this is a challenge if you’re looking for community. These religious communities are organized around some common understanding of whatever sacred text they claim as truth. But it’s hard to feel as connected over disbelief and scepticism. Or maybe it’s all a multifactorial “Bowling Alone” problem that crosses religious and secular boundaries.

My observation of UU is that it's not really about disbelief and skepticism like an atheist meetup. It's more the liberal/progressive ideology wrapped in a church interface. They talk a lot about peace and love, and fighting stuff like climate change, fascist ideas, and inequality.

Since I moved back to the Midwest (not sure if that was a terrible idea), UU feels like a microcosm of the Bay Area.

Maybe the "problem" is that younger people who want to make the world better tend to move to places where stuff actually happens, instead of sitting around talking about it.
