Amusingly, I did consider Unitarianism for a while. But it seems like organized disorganized religion to me, so I can't quite wrap my head around it. Out of all the branches of Christianity, though, it's probably the one I'm closest to.
Maybe your more of a Congregationalist (which I describe as Christianity for Unitarians). While Unitarian-Universalism has it's roots in two different Christian sects, there are few who would call it a branch of Christianity today.
It's definitely hard to wrap your head around, because it's more about finding your own religion within a general framework of the seven principals, and drawing from various sources. We might use the Bible to talk about certain ideas and themes, but we'd rarely take it literally. Some of us would even question whether Jesus actually existed, but still find something to learn in the story. But then, we also find something to learn from other sources (poetry, Buddhist teachings, etc.).
So yeah, it forces you to think about it and roll your own, as it were. But my wife and I both found it a comfortable place to hang our theological hats, considering that she is more spiritual (there must be a purpose and reason for everything) and I am less so (we live in an uncaring universe, so deal).
