63. Unitarians are not officially christian. Somebody doesn't know their denominations.
Unitarians believed in one god. Universalists believed in universal salvation. They started as part of the abolition movement back in the 19th century. They merged in 1961 but are not explicitly Christian.

The most left-wing denomination is the United Church of Christ, UCC, commonly known as Congregationalists. They were the pilgrims who built meeting houses, where the congregation looks at each other on three sides of the rectangle. They have tall clear windows, no stained glass. Jeremiah Wright's church is U.C.C. They are very much into activism.

There are also liberal Episcopalians, Presbyterians and some Methodists. I graduated from a Presbyterian college and was raised Presbyterian, so I know more about them than the others. I consider myself a Unitarian-Universalist.
