for myself and as an atheist, I can't think of anything less interesting than being surrounded by a bunch of other atheists. What fun is that? Similarly, I have never had any interest in all female groups. Homogeneous groups...kinda zzzzzzzzz.
Anyway, people who want to find a place to talk among themselves should probably find a private place. Internet = non private. Incidentally, private clubs have been more or less run out of town or opened up to all. By liberals. Ask former members of men's clubs. They just wanted to sit around and talk about their similar interests, but nooooooo. Do I see a petard hoisting in there somewhere?

Most of the safe havens on DU are about protecting from those of privilege.
