Is Unitarian Universalism really a religion?
In dealing with beliefs and theology, it’s important to note that Unitarian Universalism is a way of being religious rather than a religious doctrine. For us, religion is an ongoing search for meaning, purpose, value and spiritual depth in one’s life. We believe that individuals are entitled to make their own search, and that not all persons (not even all UUs) are going to share the same beliefs. Ours is a non-creedal, non-doctrinal religion which affirms the individual’s freedom of belief. For this reason it is not possible to give a blanket answer to whether or not UUs believe in God, Jesus, the Bible or life after death. Although we do not all believe the same thing about these and other matters, we do believe that each person has the integrity and the ability to come to terms with their religious beliefs in a way that is right for that person. What is your attitude toward other religious faiths such as Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism? We believe there is wisdom in most, if not all,
