Do you live in the DC area -- there are lots of secular groups around -- you should go to a few and see what it's like to finally be able to "come out."[/quote]

Apatheist here, and I don't get the appeal of secular groups.  I could see joining a non-religious club with a purpose, like a running club or something like that, but I don't get the appeal of meeting to be not-religious together.  [b]What's the draw?[/b][/quote]

No draw to an apatheist -- because you don't care.  But some people who, for instance,  have been in restrictive religious sects care a lot and are eager to meet people who are like them.

Others, who have not been particularly harmed by religion,  just want to feel feel to talk openly about their lack of belief and be with like-minded people.  For others, it's more of a political issue -- they want more open societal acceptance of non-belief.[/quote]
