Comment Unitarianism also, no less (Score 1) 1476

Unitarian Universalism is a rather large religion too, in which not only is no official role of god established, but most members are distinct aethiests, who have been, in my experience, constantly harassed by teachers forcing them to say the pledge of allegiance.

All of our fore-fathers would be rolling in their graves at the notion of god being forced on to people. Many of the were Unitarians (Franklin, the Adams, and almost but not quite Jefferson, and Taft and Fillmore two more presidents) and while Unitarianism did accept the existance of God at the time, it had already denied the deity of christ and was steadily moving away from the "pure christian roots of america" that the federal government seems to think existed back then.

A good example of what they felt in this, is how most people don't know that "In God we trust" also only became our motto in the 50's For the 170 years or so of our country before that, it was "e pluribus unum" god never even entered any part of our countries government until the 4th verse of the star spangled banner was written 20ish years after the country was founded.

So add the UUs to the list with Buddhists of non god religions, and strike them one more point for actually creating the country before it got drowned with god.
