Actually, Puc, I attend a UU church and have off-and-on for many years. Cool beans!
comptroller's office has been more active than usual in denying tax-exempt status to churches in the last few years, and that most of the churches denied are "non-traditional" ones.
Even if they focus on tradition, it's been the tradition of the UUs to be liberal about their religion. And quite frankly, the argument could be made that Evangelical Christianity is not even close to being traditionalist -- that'd leave Eastern Orthodoxy and Latin Roman Catholic in the Christianity bunch.
