MODERATORS
 

Over the past few decades, the number of Americans who identify as religiously unaffiliated—often referred to as “nones”—has grown rapidly. In the 1970s, only about 5% of Americans fell into this category. Today, that number exceeds 25%. Scholars have debated whether this change simply reflects a general decline in belief, or whether it signals something more complex. The research team wanted to explore the deeper forces at play: Why are people leaving institutional religion? What are they replacing it with? And how are their personal values shaping that process?

Only one I can think of is Unitarian Universalist for all 3. Maybe some sort of Buddhism? Though probably have broken #3 and are very big/organized.

I do volunteer for a Unitarian church and a Buddhist temple! Nailed it.

Awesome! I just started going to a UU church again after a decade+ away...just as wholesome as I remember. Thank you for the volunteer work! You are amazing 😍

Can unitarian universalist even be considered a religion? Isn't it just a catch-all group for people to get together and worship in a more harmonious way?

They get together and practice, which counts as a religion even if they are kinda doing their own thing.

I mean they have 8 guiding principles but it's a fair point. I feel like the term religion is used very loosely there, but I do wonder what religion that DOES have strong guiding tenents that isn't at least mildly aggressive about them.
