Aaltuit is an interesting premise, Linda--despite the seeming contradiction of terms. Thank you for sharing... And don't mind some of the others around here, who's sense of common courtesy has somehow been overcome by the need for drole apathy.

Too true.

If I was the type that felt the need for religion, however, I might consider this one.

What about you, Linda? You gave us the link, but didn't share your thoughts/feelings about it.

My apologies if I came off as being rude, the terseness of the media works in that way at times.

It does reopen thoughts as to why we created religion in the first place and are we better off with it, or will something bad happen if we don't have it. As an agnostic, all I know is that I have seen no evidence of a higher power except for the one that is created in our image and minds.

The Einstein quote on the page was interesting, but contextually biased. There is still a tremendous social bias against non-believers, so much so that a recent poll indicated that even people that identified themselves as non-religious said that they would prefer a deeply religious man in the White House. In the US in the last century, (and this one the way things are going) it was a bad thing to be an atheist or agnostic.

The high degree of inclusion shown by Unitarians and your group is a new religious trend but it still appears to have more to do with a need to belong and congregate than it does any monumental shift in the thinking of mankind.

If that is the case, isn’t a social club or worse a cult, closer to this concept than religion. If you want to redefine the understanding of the term religion then make that point, but I still have to say. “why bother”?
