UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD

    Atheists and Agnostics
       There are no organized groups for atheists and/or agnostics within UUism,
       but there are many groups for atheists in the USA and beyond.

    Humanists
       The largest single sub-group of Unitarian Universalists call themselves humanists.
       Some are secular humanists and some are religious humanists.

    Buddhists
       Some UUs embrace the spiritual practices developed within Buddhism.
       But none could be said to follow or worship the Buddha,
       as found within traditional Buddhism.

    Pagans
       Earth-centered spirituality is the focus of UUs who identify themselves as pagans.

    Existentialists and other individual paths not focused around gods
       Many other spiritual paths exist within UUism,
       which have not yet organized themselves into official groups
       or sought named recognition in the documents of UUism.
