I'm glad they exist, if only for the fact that the Unitarian congregation in my city has an ordained Wiccan priestess (they've got at least two other religious leaders but I don't know the denomination), and if we didn't have that church I'd probably have to search far and wide to find an ordained Wiccan priestess in my area. Since I plan to get married some day, and I will not be married by a Christian pastor/minister, and I'd rather not be married by a judge if I can avoid it, having an ordained Wiccan priestess in my city is obviously of some importance.

i'm a shown UU (for roughly 30 years), and that i like lots of the responses already right here. a question arose approximately what "Universalist" potential, and that i observed that there is not any historic history right here. the two Unitarians and Universalists have been "liberal" Christians by potential of custom: Unitarians ought to not trust the thought of a Trinity, and Universalists believed in familiar salvation. in the 20 th century the two moved faraway from a reliance on Christian dogma and embraced the two humanism and an appreciation of a great array of global religions. the two denominations merged in 1961. some united statesare Christian, some are Buddhist, some are earth-based, etc. distinctive congregations could have distinctive concentration and emphasis. this could be a faith of exhilaration and openness, of help and attractiveness of others and ourselves. this is dedicated to social justice artwork and to expertise the ideals and traditions of further and extra human beings. And this is dedicated to social gathering.

Some Unitarians are Buddhist leaning, some identify as liberal Xians. Some, like Th. Jefferson, are agnostic. It is a cool religion and philosophy. Nice folks them Unitarians.
BTW, they go to Xian seminaries usually (alongside Methodists, Lutherans, other left of center denominations) and really know the bible very well...along with the Koran, Bhagavad Gita, etc.
I suppose Evangelicals would not consider it a religion, but Evangelical Xians love to tell everyone what they think as if it is from G-d himself. What can ya do? Please don't hate on the Unitarians!

I attend one for the kids and they have a pagan group that I get along with really well. There are really nice and open minded people. It also has a nice sense of community and a nice way to meet people.

They're a good church. I like their openess and their belief of accepting all people. I want to go to one of their services because I think that it's great what they do.

While I don't purport to be anything remotely resembling an expert on the subject, it strikes me as an ecclesiastical free for all. Believe what you want or don't. Do what you want or don't. Sin is what YOU decide sin is. It's pretty much anarchy with a religious bent.

Its a religious group that gets together to have rituals and a sense of belonging.
Not Christian.

It has nothing to do with God, just a social club.
