AboutJon Bond Expertise Will answer all questions regarding Unitarian Universalist (UU)church; including ancient history (Universalists go back to at least 250 A.D.) and medieval history (Unitarians look to 1553 A.D. as their beginning) up to merger of the two movements in 1961 and continuing up to present. Am familiar with Christian church organizations and relationship of UUs to traditional churches.
Experience Currently member of Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder, Colorado. Past vice-president of Board of Trustees and currently on Membership Committee. Have taught UU history for over 20 years. Have attended Unitarian Universalist General Assemblies (annual meetings held in June) for past 15 years.

This is a fascinating and well written answer. I found it personally helpful.
But I'm confused by the statistics. I assume that a dogmatic closed minded religious group would give answers from 100% of their people. Whereas, free thinking UU'ers have answers from 112.5%. Maybe the problem lies with all Christians, Jews and Muslims being Theists, but some Theists being of other religions.
