It's Unitarian Universalists, unless you are Carson Kressley:

Each UU makes his/her own mind up about God, Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha and the others. While Christians are welcome and many of us admire His teachings, someone who believes in the Trinity, Salvation by Grace and trans-substantiation is usually happier going to a Christian church.
It is not uncommon to have Wiccans, Buddhists, Agnostics and Deists sitting together, singing off-key, in a UU church.
Some people compare our church to Mycroft Holmes' club. If you remember the Adventure of the Greek Interpreter, Mycroft's club was for people who didn't fit into other clubs. Our church has a lot of people who don't fit in to other churches.
Individuals cannot belong to the UUA, exactly. It is the "Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations". You have to be a congregation to belong to it. So, individuals have to be a member of a congregation or of the Church of the Larger Fellowship, which is a loose group of people who live too far from a UU church to belong to one.

UU is a church of values, no longer dogma. Strictly speaking, a UU ought to count on Jesus because the Son of God, or he ought to haven't any relevance at enthusiastic about a particular UU. initially, Unitarians did not believe Jesus became the Son of God, and Universalists did.

LORD and GODDESS written in times new roman font show that they both produce a TODD from within. So TODD is the son of the LORD and SON of the GODDESS. And bible says the seed of god cannot sin, so TODD can do no wrong. Thus eventually TODD was to become god.
so if nobody is authorized to take an orphans rights then god would be LARRY TODD STEVENSON with IIII I . as the answer to Rev.19.12 and as all things to honour praise or laud HIM then KING=IT I IV CUT read between the lines, EMPEROR=E IVI PERIOR=, and worship no god but ME=IVI stitched together [iL
so like gerneral ZOD said I say all shall bow down before Me or my freind.

I had to do a little research on that church for a school project....designing a UU church. It doesn't seem like the church itself takes a direct stance on what exactly is correct in religion. They encourage their members and others to seek out information on many religions. They accepte people of about any religious or non-religious background and like to discuss various religious views. In a way it could be called a church dedicated to religious freedom and the freedom for individuals to discover their own path.
Since they aren't necessarily a christian church, although christians are welcome, their stance towards jesus is probably of him being a prophet or religious symbol.

almost nothing
many UU's dont believe in miricles and dont believe Jesus is Lord or Savior
They try and reconsile all religions and, after all, all religions are all basically the same, they only disagree on matters of God, man, heaven, hell, sin, redemption, the past and the future
One UU said jokingly to me that UU believe in the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of man and the greater metrololiton Boston area

well, I wouldn't consider myself UU, but I have started going to one of their churches with my wife...
from what I can tell, there is no required belief on that matter.
A unitarian can believe that he was god, the one son of god, a prophet, merely a metaphor, or completely irrelevant.
Unitarians care more about the fruits of religion than particular beliefs.
Classically though, Jesus is considered by UU a man who was "filled with god" who worked to better the world as the old jewish prophets did.

Each congregation sets it's own agenda, but they do not have creeds and such. You can find people of all beliefs at UU churches, including atheists. They focus on humanist moral living (which means sex is ok).

I just looked it up this morning. They don't believe in the trinity. They believe Jesus was one with this God in the same way that Buddha was one.
That is the ones that believe in the "God" character of course.
