Abstract
Questionnaires from 12,146 Unitarian Universalist members of eighty churches in a representative denominational sample were used to explore the dimensions of religiosity in a post-traditional religion. Mean scores by churches on forty-five varied items were factor-analyzed, producing a large first factor made up of theological values, institutional values, and personal moral values. The second dimension contained all items reflecting social morality. Other dimensions proposed are church sociality, psychological development emphasis, esthetic-worship values, religious education, church as a friendship source, and intrasectarian affirmations. On this basis, modifications of the dimensionality of religiosity are proposed.
