Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

Having grown up in the Unitarian church, a cradle Unitarian, so to speak, I now find the church, um, parochial.

There are many sources of liberal religious practice out there, but Unitarians think they are the only one and the only bulwark against the fundamentalists, which merely shows the limitation of their knowledge, in my opinion. Most mainline Protestant denominations are predominately liberal, as are reform Jewish congregations. There is little unique about UU.

And the Unitarians, though they won't admit it, as a group are fairly prejudiced against Christians. They are much more accepting of other religious practices, though UUs are also fairly anti-theist in general. The G-word will never be heard in most Unitarian sermons.

The question that never gets answered for me is: why do UUs retain the format of a Protestant church service when it retains none of the content? I think it would more properly be labeled an ethical society, rather than a religion.

The other problem is that this discussion group as it stand now had very low traffic. The only group related to religion that has higher traffic is the Religion group, which is an endless debate between atheists vs. theists about the existence or lack of existence of God.
Splitting low traffic even further is not productive. The demand isn't there.
