Almost every atheist I have ever come across I can get along with well. I love to debate and talk about the world around us and they seem to as well, but I feel like I get a lot of "eye rolls" from the atheists I speak to.
It's ironic that I am six feet six inches tall because I would describe myself as a man with his head in the clouds. It's up there most of the time and I feel at home when thinking of the future. Maybe it's a habit I picked up from being a raised a Witness; contantly looking to greener pastures.
Don't get me wrong, I heavily invest my thoughts to solutions as well as hypothesis. I would say I am less idealistic than I once was (I give the atheists credit for helping me with that), but I don't want to give up anymore idealism. I want to help some of the lofty ideals I have been brewing up come to fruition and that is going to take some serious intuition and strategy.
I guess I have found atheists to be generally welcoming, but they seem frightened by "left field thinking." But as long as you keep yourself grounded and within reality we can still dabble within the world of the unexplained without going overboard.
As EX Witnesses I don't think I need to describe what "going overboard" can entail.
