    Can an Atheist be a UU?

    Obviously I'm new around here, and I am not familiar with the etiquette. I will keep the rules in mind in the future. Trey invited response from Adam, so I took it that he was interested in the atheist response to what's written here in this thread. Apparently, he forgot to warn us that the...

    Can an Atheist be a UU?

    Buehrens' quote is <blockquote>Secularists, individuals, please take note! Encounters and dialogue between religiously motivated radicals and more secular activists remain important. America, 'the nation with the soul of a church,' cannot be changed by those who ignore or scorn religion. This...
