Where did Kurt Vonnegut describe Unitarianism as atheism with hymns?

I need help tracking down a Kurt Vonnegut quote which says roughly that Unitarianism is 'atheism with hymns.' I thought it was in the Religion chapter of Palm Sunday but I just read through it and couldn't find it. I'm almost positive it's Vonnegut and the quote is something quite close to "Unitarianism is atheism with hymns." Am I misremembering this?

Towel Day:Douglas Adams :: _____________:Kurt Vonnegut? After last Towel Day, I was wondering about whether we had a day to celebrate Kurt Vonnegut.

So do we have a Kurt Vonnegut day? If not, what should a holiday celebrating Vonnegut look like? Towel Day is great 'cause you carry a towel around with you. What would we carry around with us on a day celebrating the life and works of Kurt Vonnegut? Little skeins of yarn that we attempt to work into a cat's cradle all day? Little * flags?

Who to read besides Coupland, Stephenson, Gibson, and Sterling? I need an informational intake of this sort of highly-regarded (speculative? cyber?) fiction on a regular basis, or else I become irritable.

One other thing, I prefer contemporary writers who have produced notable work post-'01.
