You want to live in Chapel Hill, NC (wikipedia link). A fun, hip, liberal college town of 50k people nestled in a fast-growing, high-tech [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_Triangle]Research∞ Triangle[/url] of 1.5M.
[quote]Faith[/quote]
Plenty of options if you want to become a Buddhist or Ba'hai. If not, nobody cares...so long as you like basketball (see title/tribus).

Chapel Hill is similar to Ann Arbor, Austin, and other protypical college towns: full of fun-lovin' progressive types. It's very diverse WRT religion and sexual orientation, though not racially (10% black, 7% Asian, 3% Hispanic). 1.3 women for every man, which is very easy on the eyes even if you decide to keep your wife ;) Carrboro, the residential community attached to CH, is where the starving artists and intellectuals <strike>grow their pot</strike> live: politically it's somewhere to the left of Hugo Chavez. Durham, the nearby city of 300k, votes just as Democratic but represents more of a traditional stronghold anchored by blacks, blue-collar workers, and civil-rights advocates. Raleigh, the big state capital, is politically neutral; Cary/Apex, its bedroom communities, present themselves as "progressive" so as not to scare all the New Yorkers moving there, but as a prettified overdeveloped suburban wasteland it naturally finds home for lots of white Republican yuppies; avoid both.

The entire Triangle descends onto CH's Franklin Street every weekend, and for good reason: the bar/pub scene rocks. There are noteworthy places to eat & drink in Durham and Raleigh, but CH is the epicenter acknowledge by college kids and refined diners alike. Lots of ethnic food, microbrews, and adventurous chefs. Franklin Street itself is host to good times several times a year: the NC Beer Festival each summer, the Festifall, and an insane gathering of 70k+ each Halloween.
The live music scene is downright famous: in the South, only Nashville and Austin spawn more bands. The Cat's Cradle is where popular acts tend to play before they're popular; several other clubs have local talent 7 nights a week. The low end of the radio dial boasts 6 indie / college / public stations. UNC's classical ensembles always program new music & commissions. 25min away, Raleigh's NC Symphony is excellent.
There's an independent theater in CH, but better ones in Durham (~10min away). Duke's Griffith Film Theater offers free screenings every weekend. Downtown, there's the historic Carolina Theater, home of the Full Frame Film Festival, the Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, and others. Cary has a decent indie theater that shows whatever artsy/foreign films the previous 3 miss. Raleigh has one of those silly places that shows Rocky Horror every Friday night.
Also, I throw a good party.
