From the two links you posted it seems more like a set of morals or ethics to me but wiki does define it as a religion... hmmm

Yeah let's bring this group back to life.re·li·gion
[ri-lij-uhn] Show IPA
–noun
1.
a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
2.
a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects: the Christian religion; the Buddhist religion.
3.
the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices: a world council of religions.
I don't think UU quite follows this.
Oh well I guess they could go under that one couldn't they hmmm...
On wiki it says they accept everyone including Atheists so I was thinking they are definitely more a way of life.
It's much more a way of life than a religion because you can be of a particular religion and a UU :P
