Christian and Christian-derived theologies
A Unitarian is a follower of, or a member of an organisation that follows, any of several theologies referred to as Unitarianism:
- Unitarianism (1565–present), a liberal Christian theological movement known for its belief in the unitary nature of God, and for its rejection of the doctrines of the Trinity, original sin, predestination, and of biblical inerrancy
- Unitarian Universalism (often referring to themselves as "UUs" or "Unitarians"), a primarily North American liberal pluralistic religious movement that grew out of Unitarianism, but later became more associated with Humanism, no longer officially opposing Trinitarianism nor officially supporting Theism, and which holds no specific creeds.
