Wasn't Thomas Jefferson Unitarian?
Later in his adult life Jefferson did not consider himself an Episcopalian, or a member of any other specific denomination. Later in life Jefferson held many clearly Christian, Deist, and Unitarian beliefs, but was not a member of any congregation or denomination. Today, many Unitarians sincerely believe that Jefferson should be “counted as” a Unitarian, just as many Christians point to Jefferson as a Christian, and many of the small number of Americans who identify themselves as Deists believe Jefferson should be classified a Deist.
Jefferson was never a member of the Unitarian denomination nor was he ever active in a Unitarian congregation.

Even if he was, Unitarians then and Unitarians now and in the 60s are worlds apart.
I know something about Unitarians in the 60s. Attended a number of youth groups in the 60s. Leftist pits of commie crap even then. LRY - “Liberal Religious Youth”, IIRC. Get laid, smoke dope and listen to leftist jive crap.
I don’t think Unitarianism was like that in Jefferson’s day.
Nope, not even the Unitariams claim that. He was Anglican, although he certainly had some Diest notions/beliefs, he never left the Anglican church, nor did he ever join a Unitarian one.
But in his day, there was no such thing as Communism, very few socialists of any import, and the Unitarian church had not "gone over to the dark side".
