What I didn't like about UU was that it had some of the trappings of 
religion and dabbled around the edges of several but no real juice about 
those things that wasn't done better in humanitarian meetings.  The 
social part was about the same too except again the humanitarian 
meetings, while smaller, felt better. 

YMMV and no offense to the many UU people I know.
