Feeling pretty lonely as I couldn’t find atheist people near me.

My country is full of religious people and people who follow religions just to have company and benefits which religious organizations provide. I hate these fake religious people even more because they simply take the side from where they’ll get maximum benefits. There are no real atheist in my country who’ll openly declare themselves as atheists.

And as per demographics of my country, having (or faking) religion is beneficial. But I hate doing either.

So how and where to find real atheist locally?

    Just don’t talk about religion and atheism. In my country many see religion as a part of national identity and atheism is seen as something really bad (even though people who say that don’t understand or know anything about atheism but that’s not the point). I still have many friends who are belivers and I don’t care (and they either don’t know I’m an atheist or don’t care about it), if we get along that’s important. Only one of my friends is also an atheist but even with him I don’t talk about stuff like that unless I find something funny that is somehow connected to it.
