I looked into the Unitarians years ago, and found that they were a 
fascinating group of people to get together with. They don't have a 
dreed per se - they're more of a discussion group that borrows ideas 
from a wide variety of religions and philosophies.

I've heard them variously characterized as "The Ethical Society but with 
a little more God", "The Western/Christian version of B'Hai", and 
"Reform Judaism/Episcopal Church but with fewer rituals and less God".

Looked to me like a good place for an agnostic to hang out.
