tl;dr:
Just so you know which religion to convert to.
I've learnt about the UU not that long ago and I'm getting into with much fondness. To me it's one of the only paths if you're a Christian-based perennialist who believes in the existence of God and follows the teachings of the prophet Jesus but rejects the bible. Basically it's only Unitarians or non-denominational Chrisians.
Amish or Rastafarian should pass as well.
Cathar too.
Maybe even jain. But i know too little about ita actual doctrins to say anything specific about it
How about Pastafarian though?
That was my first thought before even reading! OTOH they would probably oppose working with computers at all?
I mean, hypothetically couldn't you just pick any belief structure outside of the top ten and make shit up? I'm a card carrying member of The Satanic Temple (which also puts an emphasis on human worth and social conscience) and I feel like I could swing this.
Wow, you actually got your card?
They made no promises, but I sent my $20, never saw my card and that's fine.
I think you can literally purchase a membership card on their site if you want.
I'm sure.
The goat ate it
I've known some cool unitarians. The org can collect a lot of upper middle class white people, but it's also the first place I really learned about LGBT rights in the 90s (I'm getting old) and other social justice stuff.
On a tour of our state's gay friendly churches (a work project) I met a unitarian universalist minister who was openly atheist, his congregation had no problem with it. That was a very weird but cool convo.
