Question
Do Unitarians have any consensus on the Afterlife?

Answer
No. The only "consensus" we have is our seven principles.:

We believe that each person should search for their own truth and meaning, which includes belief about God and the afterlife. The majority (a survey ~8 yrs. ago said ~40%) of UUs are Humanist in belief. Though "Humanist" doesn't necessarily state the belief about God, most are agnostic or atheist. Here is a link to an agnostic UUs beliefs about the afterlife in "Coping strategies.":
