I'm not talking about Unitarian Universalism, but the more traditional Protestant religion developed in Transylvania in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The main beliefs of Unitarians are:
-God is the sole, indivisible creator and master of the Universe. He/she is perfect, omnipotent and omniscient, he/she is simply one being, a bodyless, purely spiritual force who is sentient and made our world possible.
-There is no Trinity.
-There is no Original Sin.
-Jesus was a human, who was born from Mary and Joseph in the traditional, biological way. However, he was a prophet of God, a man of very good moral character, the closest man to God that ever existed.
-Humans have completely free will, and the most important values in the world are Freedom and Tolerance. Freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, freedom of enquiry and freedom of will. Unitarians hold the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the American Revolution in high regard.
-The Bible is a collection of tales of morality, inspired by God, but written by Man in the language of the common people. It is not infallible, but is an important source of morality, particularily the New Testament and the Gospels about Jesus. Thus it shouldn't be followed literally, but it should form the base of our moral character. The most important role model from the Bible is naturally, Jesus.
This religion in still somewhat widespread in Transylvania and Hungary.
A typical Unitarian sermon (from 3:42):
How do you think this could've been possible?
