Unitarians Featured as “Leading Religious Voice” for Homosexual Marriage; How Do They Define “Religious”? The Unitarians were featured as the “leading religious voice” for homosexual marriage yesterday by A.P. But the truth is that very few Unitarians believe in a God. They are a debating and political society. They themselves report they have only 9.5% Christians, 46.1% Humanists (who by definition do not believe in God), 19.0% Earth/Nature centered, 13.0 Theist, 6.2% Mystic, 3.6% Buddhist, 1.3% Jewish, 0.4% Hindu, 0.1 Moslem and 13.3% other. The numbers total more than 100% because some people gave more than one choice. The above survey was taken in 1997 and can be found on the Unitarian website, www.uua.org under the “Needs and Aspirations Survey.” Fifty-percent of the plaintiffs in the marriage lawsuit are Unitarians, including Hillary Goodridge, and the UUA is proud to proclaim that fact.
