Representing the consolidation, as distinct from total merger, of two religious traditions, the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is a religious organization formed in 1961. Its constituents are the Universalists, who organized in 1793, and the Unitarians, who organized in 1825.

As a religion, Unitarian Universalism has no specific doctrine (i.e., "creed"), but rather the set of values of affirming the worth of human beings, advocating freedom of belief and the search for advancing truth, and providing "a warm, open, supportive community for people who believe that ethical living is the supreme witness of religion."
