UNITARIANS, a name given to those who confine the glory and attribute of divinity to the One only great and supreme God. Jesus Christ they consider as a man constituted in all respects like other men; and they look upon his death, not as a sacrifice or atonement for sin, but as a martyrdom in defence of truth. They deny the essential sinfulness of human nature, and hold that a conscientious diligent discharge of moral duties will be adequate to secure for men their future happiness. Their form of government is essentially congregational, each congregation ruling itself without regard to any courts or synods. In 1851 they had in England 229 places of worship, with 68,554 sittings; and in Scotland, 5 places of worship, with 2437 sittings.
