Your understanding of Unitarianism appears to be as shallow as wagglebee's.

That could be, I guess the insignia of all the worlds major religions on Unitarian churches, kinda turned me off from further investigation.

Do these 2 answers from the UU Church of Nashua represent your understanding of what the UU church of today teaches?

How do you regard the Bible?

"We regard the Bible as one of many important religious texts but do not consider it unique or exclusive in any way. We do not interpret it literally. We think some parts of it offer more truth and relevance than other parts. Although UUs respect the Bible and regard some of its content as great literature, it is not a central document in our religion."

Do you believe in Jesus?

"We do not believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, performed miracles and was resurrected from death. We do admire and respect the way he lived, the power of his love, the force of his example and his system of values."

"Most UUs regard Jesus as one of several important moral and ethical teachers who have shown humans how to live a life of love, service and compassion. Though some of us may question whether Jesus was an actual historical figure, we believe his teachings are of significant moral value." http://www.uunashua.org/100q/c1.shtml#q6
