I, like Dodger, am also a Unitarian, and my father is also a vocal atheist Unitarian minister (yes, we are in fact brother and sister). I believe that trying to define Unitarianism as a religion is useless, because it is more of a philosophy than anything else. The intellectually stifling side of Unitarianism is great when I'm in a philosophical mood, but in order to find a greater, more beautiful spiritual depth I am forced to look inside myself. Unitarianism has taught me that this is ok, and I am thankful for this.
