You can move and have separate communities doing their own thing. If the majority doesn't accept us it's time to be more insular. Only befriend and marry each other.
That model has been tried and typically works poorly over the long haul. Yes, the Amish are able to function outside modernity, and the so did the Shakers -- for a while, at least. Communitees like Amana didn't so much disappear as they slowly rejoined the majoority. So that idea can work -- has worked -- but it's rare.
I mean more not befriending them as much or marrying them. Also separate places to socialize and separate clubs. There won't be any more Christians in my generation if we don't do this.
You already have the perfect gathering place: church. Any place in the public sphere is open to all, and private member-only-"clubs" are more elitist than what you have in mind.
I think if atheists are allowed to be intolerant to religious people and state their non belief in God as a fact, I shouldn't have to be tolerant of the atheists. Also if they are to become the majority of my generation, technically I am a minority and they are the ones oppressing me.
