@emactan I understand your sense of distrust -- it's common among atheists who don't have prior experience with UUism. It may seem counterintuitive, but this is a "religion" that's not about worshipping supernatural things. It's about *people*. And coming together to celebrate and enrich mortal life, to work for human rights, to love, protect and revel in the natural universe, and to build a better world. But there's no dogma and no creed, so no one is excluded based on belief of disbelief.

@emactan most services are not "god" oriented. in our congregation, the church is split b/w the humanists and the spiritualists. we sometimes will talk of god or spirit, but in the same respect, we omit the word god as well. my husband is 99% atheism, 1% agnostic. I have yet to define myself, but do believe in "a" creator. we both love going to the UU church. my husband actually gets mad when we miss a service. it really is hard to explain. i guess it's something to experience than be said.

I knew this place before the church was built - lived about three miles away in 1949
Do the Lovetts still own it - or have they passed - I knew them since 1967

@Animeabe Some UU church choirs use robes, and others do not. Some reside in traditional looking church buildings, and others do not. In a UU church, you might listen to a Bach Mass one weekend and rock n roll the next. The UU faith does not shun tradition, it simply keeps heart and mind open to new possibilities.

Liberal has to do with being free and open to new ideas...free to evolve spiritually just as all life evolves. Liberal, in this case, is not a reference to the political arena. Liberal can also mean generous...as in the phrase "apply liberally".
I've no statistics to share, but I'd venture to guess that most Unitarian Universalists lean toward liberal candidates in the voting booth. That said, I have met a few UUs who identify themselves as politically conservative.

@marsneedstowels i'm really not trying to troll here, but telling me you're agnostic says nothing to me about what you believe or disbelieve. Agnosticism has to do with knowledge not belief. If asked "do you believe in the existence of a god, and/or gods(esses) etc." and your answer is yes then you're a theist. Anything else and you're an atheist.

You guys have any Christians amongst you?

@z2ato Thank you for asking. Unitarian Universalism is a theologically diverse religion. Christians are welcome in Unitarian Universalist congregations and many Unitarian Universalists identify as Christians.
