Unitarian
One-God Protestant
A Unitarian is a member of a liberal Protestant denomination that rejects the Trinity, emphasizing the unity of God and the importance of reason, individual conscience, and social justice.
Unitarians historically denied Christ's divinity while affirming his moral teachings.
Modern Unitarian Universalism welcomes diverse beliefs, including non-Christian and secular perspectives: She was raised Unitarian but now considers herself agnostic. (Lowercase unitarian describes the theological position generally.)
