Hope this helps, too:
"Unitarian Universalists value the teachings of:
* Origen (circa 185 CE) who stressed Jesus' HUMANITY, and believed
that God would receive ALL PEOPLE into heaven.
* Jan Huss, a Bohemian church reformer and martyr, burned at the
stake in 1415 CE.
* Michael Servetus who wrote "On The Errors of the Trinity" which
led to his execution at the stake in 1553 in John Calvin's Geneva
for his unitarian heresy.
* King John Sigismund of Transylvania (now a part of Romania and
Hungary) in 1568 issued the first edict of religious freedom. This
allowed citizens to hold DIVERSE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS and still be
loyal to the state.
* Writers, scientists, and others who promoted RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE,
including Alcott, Bryant, Holmes, Locke, Milton, Newton, Florence
Nightingale, and Emerson.
* American politicians such as John Adams, John Quincy Adams,
Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Adlai Stevenson
and William Howard Taft.
* Hosea Ballou, author (in 1805) of "A Treatise on Atonement" which
argued against the existence of miracles, the Trinity and of Hell.
He is sometimes referred to as 'The Father of American
Universalism'."
