This is it.

It doesn't have to be UU but you better find a team.

I'm not a fan of the religious aspect. What are some other options?

Nature conservation groups. If you have a park, garden, or nature reserve nearby, reach out.

I volunteer at the local indie theatre group.

I visited the local queer bookshop today and left with an invite to a local queer hike and a lead on sea shanty night at the local bar. Put out feelers, talk to people, and find like-minded folks around you.

Yeah, I've attended some UU stuff, and they're by far the best of the religious groups I've looked into. But the spirituality is a bore and I just plain don't believe in 'worship'. Give me a 'church' without a god, please — just good advice, good conversation, people who aren't monstrous, and maybe a potluck on Thursday nights.

You could maybe look for humanists, but I don’t know of many outside Harvard/Cambridge, MA.

Here’s a search for the AHA.

Hey, appreciated. I hadn't thought of them, had a fun time poking around the website, and I'm going to the next humanist shindig in a coupla weeks. (:
