Even now there are "universal unitarian" centers for religious people who aren't interested in subscribing to any one religion or another, but still want to be a part of that cultish group. I would have to say UU is the way of the future, more so than atheism.
Even the various Christian groups have very different beliefs.
As a Unitarian Universalist, I salivate at our upcoming world domination

UU is not the future. Its numbers are trending better than most denominations, but is still relatively stagnant or declining.
Fewer people want to do church, of any type, and UU is not for everyone. It invites you to build your own philosophy and purpose. It provides only 7 principles, and says "use any of the religious, humanist, or atheist sources you like".
Most people prefer being told that an afterlife is real (and what is required to get there). UU doesn't do that.
