The reason Unitarians aren't Christian is simple ~ they are not TrinitariansAre you seriously proposing that anyone who does not accept the idea of the Trinity cannot be a Christian? By that logic there were no Christians before the Council of Nicaea at the earliest.

The enunciation of a doctrine in a proclamation by a council simply means it has been recognized and was always there all along ~ and it's pretty clear that's the case.
So, yeah, if you're not a Trinitarian........ and just take it from there.
Remember, at some point the early Christians weren't even called Christians. They were first called Christians at Antioch. Before that they were Jews.

There were PLENTY of them!
The council merely focused what had been commonly accepted into a precise definition. It did not CREATE the definition.

"Are you seriously proposing that anyone who does not accept the idea of the Trinity cannot be a Christian?" Yes.
Christians are those who believe that Jesus is God, the second person (hypostasis) of the Trinity and consubstantial with the God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
