Hey, thanks for starting this, Irreverend Mike! I bet my husband Shaun will drop in soon, too.

Hello all. I'm a UU in Georgia. My wife and I started a group for atheists, brights, freethinkers, secular humanists, etc. a little over three months ago.

We've had 3 meetings and things are booming. (Check the website on my profile). We're working with the congregation to see how we might fit in.

If anyone's interested, I'd be glad to share our struggles, successes, strategies, etc.

Yeah, sometimes I miss lazing about on Sunday, doing the crossword puzzle and mainlining caffeine...

Hi y'all. I'm a member of the UU church in Lawton, Oklahoma. Glad to be a part of the group

I am a new member of First Unitarian Church of Cincinnati. Apparently president Taft went to my church.

I also attend FirstUU of Cincinnati. I'm not a member yet but a semi-regular visitor.

Found out about UU from daylightatheism.com and started researching churches nearby. My wife was a Catholic but had stopped attending because she was sick of their treatment of women, children, and the GLBT community. So far we are both much happier attending a UU church.

Hello.
I've been involved with UU for over 10 years. Actually was part of the group starting up a new congregation...Still trying to define what it is and why I'm there. Not really looking for life's answers... more trying to figure out the questions are.

I've joined because as a Naturalist (Atheist) and a sometime attendee of UU, I'm a fan of UU's positive celebration of life, but somewhat perplexed by it not taking a stand on superstition. Humanism on the other hand, has the right philosophical grounding, but in practice, all too often boils down to meetings that simply rail against superstition. I want a community with a solid non-theistic grounding and a hearty celebration of life, love, nature and community. It is a vision I have had for many years, but finally want to start a dialogue about it. For any of you interested in this idea, I would like to hear from you; I call it Anthropa. Maybe UUism + Humanism = Anthropa.

Join the group here on Atheist Nexus and become a charter member:

Hi Mike. I didn't know about this group. Thanks for starting it.

Hey, I've been a Unitarian for a few years now (Adelaide Unitarians). I'm a social creature and the Atheist/Skeptic communities while great just weren't cutting the positive as much as they were railing against the negative. We're working on it ^_^. The UUs though cut the positive strong and hard, engage in dialectic communication and actually seem to make a real difference in the local community.

I also love the idea of putting our differences with theists aside for a common good, but then I'm a hopeless diplomat. Fight Ideas not people.

It helps that our Lay minister is an Atheist and our main minister is ... theologically ambiguous. A deist would be too strong a word for her, an agnostic to wishy washy and an atheist too specific. Her husband is a straight up and down naturalist like myself ^_^.

Services are mostly secular though we dip our toe into the crazy occasionally to see what it feels like I guess. see for yourself:



Loving it here already, thanks Mike.

-Brian.
