They also think that we evolved from monkeys!

Wow. Triple play. You know nothing about Atheists, Unitarians OR evolution theory.

Of course not. The Unitarians are a very peaceful church with a long history. There are, in fact, some self-identified atheists in some Unitarian congregations (I know some), but they are no more interested in conspiring against Christians than any other atheists are.
From Wikipedia:
"In a survey, Unitarian Universalists in the United States were asked which provided term or set of terms best describe their belief. Many respondents chose more than one term to describe their beliefs. The top choices were:
Humanist - 54%
Agnostic - 33%
Earth-centered - 31%
Atheist - 18%
Buddhist - 16.5%
Christian - 13.1%
Pagan - 13.1%"

Atheists not only attend the Unitarian Universalist churches, they are (sometimes) leading the service. I've been to ONE UU service, and the leader of the service proclaimed herself an atheist.
There was no Satan worshipping going on. The sermon was about How To Handle Personal Tragedies.
The congregation was multi-denominational, and there was no promoted dogma, beyond Respect Each Other.

While many Atheists do indeed congregate in Unitarian churches, the fact is that neither Atheists nor Unitarians believe any such creature as satan exists so we couldn't possibly worship that myth.
And only Christians think evolution has anything to do with evolving from monkeys.

No. Atheists don't generally do much congregating, except at functions such as Mensa gatherings. And they don't think that people evolved from monkeys -- but that people and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor. Which is a proven fact.

Not true on the first part. Humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor millions of year ago. So to answer the second part of your question. No we didn't evolved from monkeys.

Question #1: No.
Question #2: No. Humans and other primates (monkey's, apes, gorilla's, etc) evolved from a common ancestor.
I hope this isn't a serious question.

ha ha ha.... atheists... worshiping...? where did you get this info from? it appears that many Christians prefer to battle with each other and scientific theories, rather than love and help their fellow (wo)man.

Farter,
Atheists do not attend the Unitarian Church. Those vhat attend actually believe there is a GOD or Greater Power. They do not worship the GOD of Abraham as the Jews, Christians, and Islamics do though. Have a nice week.
Thanks,

Nope. We just have meetings where we make fossils and hide them.
