Unitarian church is where it's at. I love that our kid's are taught about the different religious beliefs so they can decide for themselves. Unlike my own indoctrination into christmasism.

It's easier for some religions/groups than for others, I'd have thought. Judaism, for example, is a religion but Jews are an ethnoreligious group; therefore, it's entirely possible to be a Jewish atheist - and indeed, there are quite a few of us around. The degree to which Jewish atheists live according to Halakha (the rules of Judaism) varies widely: I have one friend who begins every Shabbat morning with a bacon sandwich, whereas I keep kosher - I'm convinced there's absolutely no logical reason to do so, but it's just what I do.

I went to Unitarian Church for a while where I live now and in Houston. Surprised they even have one where I live now, but there has been one since the 70s.

I've seen several atheist writers recommend Unitarian churches for those who still want to belong to a community, or maybe they have a spouse that still needs "church" and it is a good compromise between the couples.

I'm aware that my formative years were heavily influenced by the Christian culture I grew up in, and feel no need to deny my Cultural Christianity. My current "attitude of life" was heavily influenced by reading about Taoism, so I feel an affection for that tradition also. Of late I've developed a personal practice aimed at maintaining a healthy emotional balance, which I think can properly be called a religion, but at no point am I tempted to believe in a literal interpretation of any mythology, including my own.

Hi Jenny we're neighbors - welcome to the site! I'm a cultural Jew-I attended UU Church in Manchester, NH years ago.

So what are your beliefs ? Unitarianism he defining belief of Unitarian Universalism is that religion is a matter of individual experience, and that, therefore, only the individual can decide what to "believe." The roots of this belief can be found in the Unitarian insistence on freedom of personal conscience in matters of faith.I have to admit I am a little confused.

Not me.

No, I'm not in a religion.
