You're looking to religion for just social and personal aspects which have litte to do with religion, in which case that's not a bad thing because actual religion of the organized type is more about power and money and control than anything else. Try this on, it's made up of people of all faiths or none, as in humanists, athiests, wiccan's, cristians, jews, buddhists, hindus, straight, gay, or whatever all together non judgemental, but mainly it's just people who are more open to community and spirituality, and personal growth specifically no matter the source. They're open to a variety in learning, not any one specific dogma and agendas, and even if you don't ultimately like it there or choose another path you'll get exposure to many different theologies all at the same place.
You can stay with that type of church no matter what your beliefs are or may change to later, and nobody gives a damn as long as you're a decent person. You'll fit right in, pot smoker or not.
Unitarian Universalism is a religious community characterized by support for a "free and responsible search for
truth and
meaning".
[1] Unitarian Universalists do not share a
creed; rather, they are unified by their shared search for
spiritual growth and by the understanding that an individual's theology is a result of that search and not obedience to an authoritarian requirement. Unitarian Universalists draw on many different
theological sources and have a wide range of
beliefs and practices.
Historically, both
Unitarianism and
Universalism have roots in the
Christian faith. Contemporary Unitarian Universalists espouse a pluralist approach to religion, whereby the followers may be
atheist,
theist, or any point in between.
The
Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) was formed in 1961, a consolidation of the
American Unitarian Association, established in 1825, and the
Universalist Church of America, established in 1866. It is headquartered in
Boston,
Massachusetts, and serves churches mostly in the
United States. The
Canadian Unitarian Council became an independent body in 2002.
