“Would it be accurate also to say that you do not believe in the divinity of Jesus?”

Are Unitarians also Arians?

I don’t believe that would be accurate. I believe Arianism would elevate Jesus higher than most or many Unitarians, that they would see Jesus as more human than Arius would.

However, as OR points out, Unitarians are quite varied; as I described somewhat jokingly earlier, they are “dogmatically non-dogmatic”. So it’s difficult to ascribe a set of beliefs to them as a whole - other than Uni.. nonTrinitarian. From there I believe it would be accurate to say the theological formulations are “loose and open”.

Even further afield from Orthodox theology you reach the Unitarian Universalists.
