I experimented with a couple UU churches and was disappointed. They seemed to attract a lot of people with a "spirituality" that didn't fit with what I wanted. Maybe just the places I tried. Wiccans, people greeting at the door with "the sky-mother is smiling upon us today!", etc. All nice people though. It made me ask, would I want a group to be totally accepting in that you can believe whatever you want, or a group with a little more active skepticism?

The thing is, those are the people you're looking for! The ones who reject (or are rejected by) mainstream religion, but desire a welcoming community atmosphere, they end up at UU churches. If you find Wiccans and sky-children there, that's because they're present in your community, and sought out the church for probably roughly the same reasons as you. Who better to form a community with than nice people with whom you might not otherwise interact?
