Probably misleading, certainly needs citations
edit"Unitarianism might be considered a part of Protestantism, depending on one's stance or viewpoint, and some exclude it from that term due to its rejection of the Trinity. Despite common origins during the Protestant Reformation, some scholars call it a part of Nontrinitarianism, while others consider it both Protestant and Nontrinitarian, seeing no contradiction between those two terms. None of the three views is universally accepted."
This is all misleading at best. Unsourced, I think it can be entirely removed. Jrwsaranac (talk) 12:35, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- The article still contains a lot of blather that sounds like a blog and is certainly WP:OR. I removed more opinion. 71.136.189.245 (talk) 18:31, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
Merger
editThe merger between the Unitarians and the Universalists, ended the church as it was known, and started a mix of the two religions, known as the Unitarian Universalists (UU's). Then after the UU's had the merger, eventually, they usurped the Unitarian name. Thus, the prior Unitarian's had different beliefs, and most know nothing about the Transcendentalist movement within the Unitarian church, or the volume of Politicians whom were Unitarians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.72.88.128 (talk) 19:49, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Number
editThe number of Unitarians seems to be 800,000, throughout the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:7C87:4F00:D879:1050:A007:5BE2 (talk) 14:24, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Reworded and expanded poorly sourced trinity definition with better sourced definition from Trinity page
editThe original first paragraph has a poorly sourced definition of the Trinity ("homoousion: one being in three hypostases: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit") which it claims is from the Nicene Creed, however this definition goes beyond the creed which does not use the term hypostasis to describe the three, and does not refer to the Holy Spirit as homoousion. I have reworked the first paragraph to describe the Trinity as defined on the Trinity page which is more accurate and better sourced.
Under the beliefs section, I replace the line "Unitarians believe that mainstream (Nicene) Christianity does not adhere to strict monotheism" as the citation given here refers to the "doctrine of the Trinity", not "Nicene Christianity", in support of the claim. The new line reads: "Unitarians charge that the Trinity, unlike unitarianism, fails to adhere to strict monotheism." ParallelFrog (talk) 14:03, 6 November 2022 (UT
Article issues and classification
edit- Article fails the B-class criteria. One instant is "unsourced statements" since 2010. Reassess the article to C-class. -- Otr500 (talk) 08:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
