And if anyone is curious what #UnitarianUniversalists believe in, well, you can ask. Can't promise authoritative answers. It seems like our values align with those of just about all the people I meet on Mastodon, though!

Raised agnostic by religiously disenchanted parents, I'm a former #jehovahswitness -- converted at 17, and that was all my adolescent rebellion. Twenty years later I had a religious breakdown and took shelter with the #UnitarianUniversalists, a step I recommend to everyone who needs to deconvert. Under their wing, I became a #NeoPagan and learned about #folkmagic, especially #hoodoo (aka #rootwork and #conjure).

<... But #UU feels a better fit for community, especially since it includes both Jewish and Humanist groups (less so in the UK, but in principle) ie it is not exclusively Christian.

I also joined the Quaker Non-Theist group.

Inclusivity and LGBTQ+ affirming us obviously very important to me too.

Unitarians have a process for youth around 13 years-of-age called "Coming of Age". During that time, you take some classes and at the end, you stand before the congregation and state what you believe to be true for you at that time in your life.

There's literally no wrong answer.

My church had two services and one young man completely changed his mind between the first and second service!

MOST UNITARIAN THING EVER! Good job!

Unitarians have always been a major influence in my life. I usually don't figure it out until later... 🤔

A #HappyNewYear but also a happy first night of #chalica to any of my fellow #UnitarianUniversalists who celebrate the 7 week version
Happy to see the #solstice toots! My grandparents were/are #UnitarianUniversalists and we celebrated solstice in there backyard, in Detroit, in the winter every year growing up. My sister owns that house now, so that’s where we are heading tonight. The religion and holiday are a funny thing to describe to those that don’t participate, but there’s not much cooking, no gifts (except stories, songs and poems), and a lot of love and gratitude. Happy Solstice! Back to shitposting about old sports!
My #UnitarianUniversalist heart is feeling mighty spiritual today

An Elizabeth Stout book said “Unitarians are just atheists who don’t want to miss out on Christmas,” and, honestly, fair.
