I am best described as agnostic. I grew up in a very Christian home and due to the sheer stress and pain it caused I just left. I am not anti theist just apathetic towards religion. I only go to church when I am with my parents. However, a lot of research shows that going to church is good for a sense of community and developing discipline. It also seems somewhat beneficial to raise children in such environments. I disagree with the dogmatic nature of a lot of Christianity and but I am too culturally separate from other world religions like Islam and Buddhism.

I was about to give up hope and came across UU. What are the main principles and goals of UU? Is it appropriate for agnostics? How strong is the sense of community? How regular are church services etc? Is it heavily involved in politics (as a church, not as individuals) or does it remain somewhat apolitical? Anything else I need to know?
