Why do you live (or stay) where you live?
This question is directed at anyone who lives somewhere. So as not to discriminate, those who do not live somewhere, but perhaps live somewhen instead, are also invited to participate, but only if they can explain how that works.
It's pretty open-ended really, but a few things to consider:
- Is your community open to your atheism (or other philosophy if not atheist)?
- If so, is that a factor in why you remain?
- If not, does this bother you?
- If it does bother you, what keeps you where you are (family, school, can't afford to move, etc.)?
- What other aspects, positive or negative, affect the livability of your current location?
Even if you frequently move, or do not live most of any given year at a fixed address, I'm still looking for the same basic things: what keeps you in a state of moving around so much?
N.B. Don't feel obligated to answer those subquestions I asked. Photos, words, videos... whatever; answer however you damn well please. I'm mostly just curious about where other TA members are coming from, figuratively and literaly.

I've got one who is an "in-your-face" Christian. But she's a rare occurence in my community. I try not to get in discussions with her but we had a situation a while back that I posted about on here, actually. It was shocking to me, the way she was judging others. I was shocked that anyone who grew up in the same environment I did could think like that. I think that's the only bad part about living here. I was naive and sheltered from the hatred that a large percentage feel towards Atheism.

Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?
