hm-m-m... my understanding is that Unitarianism stems from Deism-- in fact, the link you provided alludes to that, as well-- which says (gross oversimplification): God created the earth, then just sat back to see what happened. no other interaction, intervention, or overt meddling...
hence, no Son of God (JC)...
hence, not Christian...
now... I agree that the original Unitarian / Universalists prolly came mostly from the ranks of Protestant congregations; and it could be that the folk who told me about the Deism connection had their OWN agenda (or were mistaken)...
