I don't think that UUism is Christian in of itself but it does have many Christians within it. I consider myself Christian even though many traditional Christians would not. Since I believe that Mohammad was a prophet for the Islamic people there are many who claim I'm more Muslim than Christian. I also do not believe that Christ is the only path to salvation which many believe is the only true definition of Christianity. Islam is actually much more liberal when it comes to salvation. They say there are three ways to God.
1 Through the Prophets
2 Through the scriptures
3 Through Nature
In the Baptist church I was raised in, I would be considered an Apostate because I don't believe in their creed and for them, to go to a Church that you don't completely believe in is a sin, punishable by burning in hell.
I personally believe that all religions are reflections of the same truth. While none are completely true, none are completely false and each holds lessons that can be learned by the free thinking individual. The UU church is the only environment where a person can seek out these lessons without worry of the thought police condemning you to eternal damnation.
