Basically, I'm 21, not a huge partier. I was homeschooled so I don't know many people my age. I work a solitary job. I don't have kids. I'm definitely introverted. I just don't know where/how to make friends my age when I have little in common with my peers and don't really know how...

Its awkward to start introducing or talking with them. But you and the person (who can possibly be your friend) come across the same favorite or common subject. Then that the way to do it. All of my friends and I have something in favorite like fantasy books, video games, present movies, or same pet.
Go to a church on Wednesday evening. You don't have to believe anything. Every church does something different, so if one is not interesting you can go to another one. Don't tell them about your problems, just say you heard you could meet some nice people.
Take acting classes at the local college. If nothing else, you will learn how to pretend to be normal.
I guess I didn't emphasize that part: Wednesday night at a church has nothing to do with religion. It is purely social. Most Mormon churches have a dance every Wednesday.
People who regularly go to church are not my kind of people. I live in the south....no church activity here is religion free...
Well, if you want friends, you have to get friendly.
I'm very friendly. Churches are not. They don't like people like me.
You are the one who asked the question. Why are you struggling against the answer? You don't have to agree with what your friends believe, and you don't have to demand that they agree with you. You are acting like the recruit who says the entire platoon is out of step with you.
Take those acting classes. You don't have to be something, just act like something. A bonus is that acting ability improves your earning power. When you earn more, more people want to be your friends.
Should have said anything religious was absolutely out of the question...thanks though.
