Interesting article on The Atlantic about the religiosity of many agnostics. I am a humanist, non-theist, religious person as a committed UU. I didn’t click “religious” on my bio because Agnostics.com defines religious as believing that some gods must be worshipped. UUism doesn’t have such a creedo or expectation. I wonder whether @Admin might consider redefining the term? What might we suggest instead? Merriam-Webster’s second definition is “of, relating to or devoted to religious beliefs or observances.” Does that work for you?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I am also a non-theist. I don't know if there is a god(s) and I don't care what label others put on me. I call myself agnostic, atheist, non-believer, secular. The words don't count. I am just a person who does not like organized religion.

UUNJ:
Gotcha. But many of us do, and we enjoy progressive religious communities where theism isn’t required. Trying to broaden the definition.
