I was wondering if anyone here is a Unitarian Universalist or has at least heard of Unitarian Universalism? I am a UU, and it is sometimes hard to find others who are also UUs.

For those who asked, UU is a growing liberal religion where people can come together and share their spirituality and beliefs. UUs do not judge, but are accepting of all religions and may practice diverse beliefs. This is how I would word it, but sometimes I am not exactly sure how to word it.

I went to a UU church in Texas and found the people there extremely friendly and open minded!

Unitarian Universalism is a spiritual community characterised via help for a "loose and to blame seek for certainty and which ability". Unitarian Universalists do no longer share a creed; fairly, they're unified via their shared seek for religious strengthen and via the expertise that somebody's theology is a consequence of that seek and not obedience to an authoritarian requirement. Unitarian Universalists draw on many distinctive theological supplies and have a great array of ideals and practices. traditionally, the two Unitarianism and Universalism have roots interior the Christian faith. modern Unitarian Universalists espouse a pluralist attitude to faith, wherein the followers could properly be atheist, theist, or any element in between. In different words, no longer something.

I've been a Unitarian for years.
They seem to have much stronger roots established on the East Coast than elsewhere in the US. But even in North Texas where I was raised they have churches. I now live in the valley area of LA and we have three churches here in the valley.
You just won't find too many in places like Butte, Montana or Alamogordo, New Mexico.

I've heard of UU. It seems to be more of a community group than a religion, correct? A bunch of people who don't believe the same thing gather together for functions, exchange niceties and generally accept each other. Sounds like a nice place to hang out.

Woo hoo for the UU! :-D
Sorry, I just had to say that, lol... I know about the UUs, and about how accepting they are toward Paganism. That makes them okay in my books.

I am not a member or a joiner. But if I were to join any church, I'd certainly consider this one. They have an honest aproach and truly welcome everyone, even atheists. Most religions claim their own is the only true faith, and all others are doomed to die in hell. The problem with that is they can't all be right. Religion should strive to seek common ground with all beliefs. Most wars and mutilations are caused by
religious disputes today and throughout history.

When I go church, which is not often, I go to UU. It is the most intelligent, humanistic church I know of. We have several thriving UU churches in Austin.

I've on occasion attended the UU church near my town. Here in New England, there are many UU churches and attendees.
