Well you know (maybe not?) that quite a few UUs are atheists.  I'm pretty 
much a pagan agnostic, my wife is an pagan atheist, both long-standing UUs.  Our 
first church, in Richmond VA...in the 1970s -- both the minister and his wife 
were atheists.
 
I understand that in the 1950s and 1960s, humanist atheists were quite strong 
amongst Unitarians...
