There are variations, and then there are variations.
There was a bishop in my old denomination that didn't believe in the divinity of God, let alone Jesus. But hey, he was a bishop in the church! And then he became a left-wing celebrity Christian! PBS still drags the old cadaver out of mothballs every time they want someone in clerical garb to justify gay marriage or mock the resurrection or deny any diety except "the god within us."
I don't know why anyone should be obliged to consider that a valid variation of Christian belief. It ain't Christian and it ain't belief.
That you can identify a practice that you believe goes beyond the bounds of validity does not forclose the possibility of variation. For example, most Christians believe that members of other religions are not necessarily condemned to hell for lack of Christian conversion.
