Unitarians deny the doctrine of the Trinity

I'm afraid it's worse than that. The Unitarians merged with the Unitarians, and their offspring believes as follows:

Do some UUs have different beliefs than other UUs?
They certainly do. Since individual freedom of belief is one of our basic principles, it follows that there will be differing beliefs among us. Found in today's churches are humanism, agnosticism, atheism, theism, liberal Christianity, neo-paganism and earth spiritualism. These beliefs are not mutually exclusive--it's possible to hold more than one. While we are bound by a set of common principles, we leave it to the individual to decide what particular beliefs lead to those principles.

Do you believe in God?
We do not have a defined doctrine of God. Members are free to develop individual concepts of God that are meaningful to them. They are also free to reject the term and concept altogether.

Most of us do not believe in a supernatural, supreme being who can directly intervene in and alter human life or the mechanism of the natural world. Many believe in a spirit of life or a power within themselves, which some choose to call God.

In other words, they don't believe in ANYTHING.

More of this drivel here, should you feel masochistic today.

It's generally accepted in this neck of the woods (GA) that the UUs are not a religion - they're just a liberal social action organization that gets together once a week to pat each other on the back.

I'm sorry - they merged with the UNIVERSALISTS.

These people make my head spin (vomiting pea soup is next . . . . :-D )

Thank you for the link -- although I should be shocked, I'm not. Any denomination that rejects one of the basic tenants of Christianity will inevitably head in this direction.

It is funny, though, that they claim to have no creed and then proceed to give a whole page dedicated to their "no creed" creed. I thought it was particularly funny that some in their midst argue against the historicity of Jesus Christ -- that's poor 19th century German scholarship. No serious scholar, even in that century (and no matter how radical) would dare make such a claim.
