Still, if someone today said they were Unitarian Christian (or admitted to having those views), it would be political suicide in a presidential election. I like to think that America use to be more tolerant and rational in the past, but I could be wrong and its just that things that past president's believed or said about Christianity wasn't as easily accesiable to the general population as they are today with television, radio, and the internet. |
Unitarian christian has like nothing to do with unitarians though.
Unitarian christian is basically protesetant. It's "I'm a christian but i believe that God suprasses the son and holy ghost in importance."
Which is... probably what most christians believe now despite all the trinity stuff.
A few presidents were Unitarian Christian i believe.
Additionally everyone tried to "rationalize" presidents christainity. George Washington was seen as a christian because his wife was, even though he VERY rarely went to church and was known as a diest etc.
This was the same for most Deist presidents.
Also there was a big rise in christianity after the Civil War... and also after the Anti-mason movement.
