I feel loneliest in a crowd. I have my wife and kids. And I talk to a couple of multi-year friends a couple of times a month. I have little opportunity to have chance encounters with the same people to begin forming friendships - I practically don't go anywhere due to family obligations and work. Best option would be church but I feel like a charlatan there as I'm not a religious believer.

It might be worth a try. You could just say you're not looking for anything but would love to attend for a bit. It requires a little courage, but you'll find somewhere decent.

How old are the kids? Do they go to school? We found a few parents that we now regularly go out with.
Try humanist organizations. They don’t believe in any faith and might be more in align with your principles
