A religion. Which I consider myself a part of because it's where my parents decided to go when they thought they should bring their children to some churth. :)
Used to be Christian, doesn't consider itsself that anymore. Pretty much the most liberal mainstream religion there is... there are the Principles and Purposes, but they're really about moral stuff. You aren't told to believe any one thing regarding god (God, gods, no god, whatever). You can't believe ANYTHING (the first principle says 'respect the inherent worth and dignity of every person' -- this rules out some things people believe. :)), but any mainstream religious philosopy is, I'm sure, believed by some UUs... christianity, paganism, athiesm, etc...
I never really went to the services, though. I went to RE (religious education), from whenever we started going until I graduated highschool. We had a group that was there until the year I graduated... we even had the same group leader for at least part of the last eight years of the group. I never was too interested in the service or sermon, but really liked our RE group so I kept going until graduation. Since then, of course, I've only been back a couple of times at the christmas eve service. But I doubt I'd be much more intrested now in most of the services, so that's fine with me.
