The atheist [[PZ Myers]], quoting fellow [[leftism|leftist]] Alex Nichols, said that jibes associating outspoken [[Atheism|atheists]] with neckbeards (among other things) caused many [[liberal]]s/leftists to leave the atheist tent and those who remained for the most part lacked in social skills and self-awareness.<ref>[https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2017/10/17/poisoning-of-a-movement/ Poisoning of a movement] by PZ Myers</ref> See also: [[Atheism and social/interpersonal intelligence|Atheism and social skills]] and [[Atheism and social outcasts]] ]]
The [[England|English]] [[Anthropology|anthropologist]] Edward Dutton indicates that using [[right-wing]] politics as a proxy for [[religion|religiosity]], there is evidence that [[atheism|atheists]] are less attractive and he pointed out that right-wing politicians are more likely to have [[Symmetry|symmetrical]] faces according to a study.<ref>[https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/unique-everybody-else/201806/defending-atheist-mutational-load-theory-part-2 Defending Atheist Mutational Load Theory — Part 2] by

The American contrarian blog ''Half Sigma'' declared about [[atheism and social outcasts]]:
{{cquote|...[[Atheism and loneliness|atheists are most likely to live alone]].
This is not surprising. Atheists are less desirable...partners. I observed this once when I was living in Washington, DC, and I wandered by an atheist convention happening on the mall. The atheist were [[Atheism and women|predominately male]], and significantly uglier than average.
This is because ugly people become social outcasts, and social outcasts are more likely to be attracted to outcast movements like atheism, [[libertarianism]], [[communism]], etc.

If you are attractive and have a good social life you will generally not be interested in out of the mainstream groups or ideas. Why buck the status quo when it's working in your interests?<ref>[http://www.halfsigma.com/2009/01/atheism-is-a-lonely-religion.html Atheism is lonely religion]</ref>}}
In the [[Western World]], atheists have lower marriage rates (see: [[Atheism and marriage]]). In addition, compared to deeply religious cultures where an extended family and a sense of community often exists, secular countries are often lonelier societies (See: [[Atheism and loneliness]]).
