Science and Religion: Barbour’s 4 models

I had thought you classed yourself as a Unitarian. Now most Christians would exhibit strong resistance to counting Unitarianism as a branch of Christianity (at least, as it exists today, even if 150 years ago it had stronger Christian connections). So I’m wondering if your words indicate a recent move from Unitarianism to Christianity, or merely that you consider Unitarianism to be a branch of Christian religion.

In college I used to get aggravated by Born Again Christians labeling Unitarians as non-Christian.

But over time, I became relatively comfortable with the idea that Christianity as most Westerners use the term means TRINITARIANs. There’s a certain apt efficiency to that kind of labeling.

As a Unitarian, I have an interest in encouraging Christians to accept Evolutionary science ALONG WITH their religion… so I am a Unitarian who writes from the perspective of Trinitarians when it comes to discussing metaphysics, religion and the study of natural law.
