What do Unitarians believe?
Ours is a free faith and we believe in “life before death” and in a free search for truth and meaning. As a liberal religion born of Jewish and Christian traditions, we keep our minds open to the religious questions that people have struggled with in all times and places. We have no creeds. Instead, we are guided by our personal experience, conscience and reason in developing our beliefs, values and ethics. In our view, religious authority lies not in any one book, institution or person. Each of us has a responsibility to continually develop our religious understanding and to act as a moral force in the world. For us it is much more important what people do each day, then what they say they believe. As we continually develop our understanding of life, death, truth and the world, we are open to the insights of science as well as of religious teachers and men and women of all ages, races and cultures.
