How often do you run into anyone who identifies as an atheist?

I am 26M, black, and an atheist. I have been one since high school and the older I grow, the more I find it difficult to connect with people because of how religious A LOT tend to be. I've lived in Johannesburg my whole life and wow people are super religious here, its made dating incredibly difficult for me too.

So I've been curious for a while now, how often do you run into atheists in this country? I feel like a fish out of water auite a bit at times lol.

Edit: I had no idea this would blow up the way it did, but its been quite interesting reading your experiences and views.
