Probably the most tolerant of the religious groups. They tend to focus more on charity and helping others than on who thinks like they do.

Years ago, my mother sent me to Unitarian Sunday School, even though she always said, "If you're going to believe any of it, you might as well believe all of it and join the Roman Catholic Church."
Nowadays, I'm an Orthodox Catholic Agnostic Fundamentalist.

I have always been fascinated how Bible-Only Protestantism drifts leftward with each generation and many times slips into Unitarianism. I would guess that the constant sifting and re-sifting the words of the Bible with their many nuances and shifts leads ultimately to the logical conclusion where Unitarianism is at the end of the line.
That even happned in Calvin's Geneva when Calvin burned Michael Servetus at the stake for Unitarian beliefs. Many of the Calvinists in the Calvinist enclave of Transylvania went to Unitarianism.
The most interesting case is in New England where the Puritans kept drifing leftward theologically until the great schism when the majority went over to Unitarianism. Without ceremony or ritual, which many humans crave, the result appears to be always the same in the Bible-only sects. Look at the Baptists now with the divisions and controvbersies.
The Orthodox Church in Russia survived the 70 years of atheist pressure because of tradition and ritual as well as doctrine. In the Baltic States however, the Lutheran Church has just about disappeared. When the sermons stop, the church stops, and Lutherans even are much more ritualistic than Baptists, for instance.

No, I'm not a unitarian. . .they are a little warm-and-fuzzy for my tastes. . .but they are usually pretty bright, educated, and accepting practitioners of faith- thus many people don't like them.
