In comparative religion, a universalist religion is a religion that is open for inclusion to anyone regardless of ethnicity. Ethnic religions, like ethnicity itself, can be determined not just by genealogy, but by geography, language, and other social boundaries.
In Christian theology, universalism is the doctrine that all people will eventually be saved and go to heaven when they die. Some universalists believe that some will endure a limited period of punishment before going to heaven. Almost all denominations of Christianity, however, reject universalism as a doctrine.
Although isolated theologians, such as Origen in the 3rd century, have expressed univeralist positions throughout the history of Christianity, universalism bloomed within post-enlightenment liberal Christianity and became popular on the American frontier during the Second Great Awakening in the 19th century. This movement lead to the formation of the Universalist Church of America, which later merged in 1961 with the American Unitarian Association[?] to form the Unitarian Universalist Association. However, because Unitarian Universalism is officially creedless, no member of that denomination is required to believe in the doctrine of universalism.
Early universalists in North America include John Murray and Thomas Potter[?] in 1770. The story goes that God told Potter that he was to go and rescue the one swimming from a boat that hand hit a sandbar and that this person would be the one he was waiting for. Murray preached to Potter's neighbours and the word spread like wildfire.
Universalism is also used as a synonym for moral absolutism.
