Unitarian Universalism (UUism), which began in 1961, is a liberal religion built on covenant rather than creed; its members are not required to subscribe to one specific belief or deity. Despite the non-traditional foundation for this religion, music is still an essential part of worship for Unitarian Universalists. My study is seeking to uncover how Unitarian Universalist religion functions and what purposes its worship music serves. I used qualitative methodology to conduct my research at two UU churches in Colorado over a period of seven weeks. Using Durkheim's definition of religion and his purposes of ritual, as well as more current research on the sociology of music and its role in worship, I have shown that this modern religion and its music function to ultimately provide an inclusive alternative to mainstream religion.
