The Alcohol free beer of religion.

They really vary widely as each congregation has its own culture. Unfortunately, the local one in my area is very classist and cliqueish and will probably always be that way, which is why I've stayed away for the last couple years. More than a decade ago, they had an interim minister for two years that confronted the congregation the best she could about those faults, but what ended up happening is that the culture either changed temporarily or at least went underground until she left after her two years, as required, and then the congregation's culture went back to the old ways when the new permanent minister came in. Many of the assholes from back then are still around and that galls me too.

I agree with the other commenters that your beliefs or lack of will be accepted at any UU church. That's not an issue with me and the local church. My issue is the majority attitude they have that you don't belong there unless you make at least 75K a year (which puts you in the top 10% for this area) or have a high status job, preferably both. Otherwise, they treat you as inferior and not worth getting to know or socializing with at the church. In other words, a country club for intellectuals with its own blatant admission standards and only upper-middle class or higher need show up.

Don’t join yet. Attend some services, maybe go to some social or social action events and take some classes before you make a decision. Also, know that every congregation is unique: if you don’t like your SO’s congregation, you might like one in the next town. A compromise may be in order.

Not a fan. We once had an atheist group in town. The UU put an end to that group. They had an Atheist night and most joined.

To quote Tracie Harris from episode 740 of the “Atheist Experience” “ . . . does it (Unitarian Church) foster and cater to liberal religion, Yes I think it absolutely does. Now is that a problem? well, They're not looking at it like you (the caller) are looking at it. Yes that a problem because liberal religion buffers criticism of more fundamental religions and more extreme religions and so it does cause a bit of a problem especially if the liberal group is is standing up to buffer up criticism like openly if they are saying you should not criticize people for the beliefs if this is what they are teaching they really are teaching you something that keeps you from being able to hammer the more dangerous sects of religion that need hammering um so I do think they can be a problem. And I understand the problem you're describing and I've written about it as well and I agree that the liberal branches of religion do buffer extreme religions and they also prop it up because the problems with the extreme religions is they believe in authoritarian deity that is telling them to do these things and what's happening is when you have a liberal belier that believe in that deity but they believe it tells you to do different things and so when they are both operating on faith, there is no mechanism for one to demonstrate the other is wrong. So they are saying basically I have faith my god my god is telling me to do these nice things and you have this other guy over here saying I have faith my god is telling me to do these horrible things and I don't see how I can criticize the guy whose god is telling him to do horrible things when person over here is telling me it is perfectly fine to believe in this god, to believe in this god's authority and do whatever he says. But I just believe he says to do good things, Then how do I criticize the guy who says I believe it's evil things. You can't tell me how you know god has told you to do anything you just have faith so yes it does buffer it and it does create a big problem I agree.”

Unitarian churches were my first step toward atheism. I knew I didn't fit into anything else and the Unitarian churces gave me the opportunity explore everything from paganism to wiccan. I met some nice people, did some community service, etc. One of the churches I went to did almost nothing but sing throughout their services...which I hated! I did get the opportunity to hear some great talks. I'm not into any real "organized religion" and this still felt like "organized religion".

I've been to my local UU church quite a few times and enjoyed it tremendously. It didn't feel like church at all, it felt much more like a world religion/philosophy class -with a side car of snark regarding typical christian dogma. I'm sure there is variation, but I found it to be a very diverse, open and welcoming community.

Not being a "joiner", I'd say "no, thank you."
Unitarian churches are STILL churches.
Woo is woo.

As i state below, you won't find many places more accepting as far as I have encountered. Of course each group gets to set their own agenda. If you like gathering with people who are open to the multitude, I know if no better place. Again, like anywhere, the people make or break the place. I vote take at least one visit, if only for the relationship.

And ask this group "Unitarian Universalists "

I am told many welcome/accept Atheists just fine. Ask the officiator perhaps?

I consider ALL churches to be bullshit.

Omaha has an excellent Unitarian Universalist church. I'd go more often, but it is far far east in Omaha and I'm far far west. And on Sunday mornings I just don't want to drive that far.
