I joined a Unitarian Universalist church last year, and it’s made a big difference in my life. UU doesn’t require anyone to believe anything besides the inherent dignity and worth of all humans. There’s some other grounding principles, but the gist is love and support one another. You can be an atheist or a theist. The organization is run democratically with transparency. It feels like a modern take on religion.

Our UU does volunteer work at local soup kitchens, raises money for charity, helps kids learn about religions. We do different events for social justice.

I was an atheist for 20 years, and UU repaired my relationship with god and community. Each of us has their own beliefs, but it feels like liberal democracy enshrined in a belief system. Even if the extremist take other aspects of our lives, I have faith in my local UU community.

Absolutely.

I like it, but also sounds like federation porn.
