@zenvelo Really? I’m looking at https://www.themonastery.org/guide-to-divinity/unitarian-universalism

Hmm. Ok, looking at the site linked, I’m seeing a very large proportion of links to the part about buying a license, and doing marriages, and not much about anything else. They’re flying the banner of TheMonastery.org… which mentions Unitarian Universalism, but the rest of that site too is largely about becoming a legal minister to marry people.
Checking Wikipedia I see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Life_Church which I seems to paint a pretty good picture. That is, Universal Life Church has been used a lot as a way to get ministry licenses, mainly to marry people, and that has some people bothered. And there doesn’t seem to be much doctrine or teaching in ULC, other than that people shouldn’t need to have any of that. So it’s minimalist and based on freedom of individual spirituality and freedom against attempts to invalidate others.
So, not a scam, except from the perspective of people who want to invalidate others’ spirituality or their right to marry people.
