Unitarians
One-God Christian sect
Unitarians are Christians who reject the doctrine of the Trinity, believing God is one person rather than three.
The movement emerged from Protestant traditions that emphasized reason and individual conscience over creed.
Modern Unitarian Universalism has largely moved beyond Christianity, embracing diverse spiritual paths and humanist ethics: The Unitarians welcome atheists and believers alike.
