49. Most churches won't throw you out.
I've never seen a creedal test performed anywhere in any denomination I've been in.

Depends on what someone wants in a church. The Unitarians are less unique than they think they are, and I say this as having grown up Unitarian and seen other things since. It never seemed a spiritual place to me, with zero talk about God or anything greater than ourselves, but your mileage might vary. It is mostly a reactive institution, depending on newcomers in rebellion from dogmatic religious traditions to fill their churches. It tends not to hold on to families from generation to generation, though, because there is no cohesive viewpoint or tradition. I see it as primarily as a secular humanist society, (not that there is anything wrong with that.) Just not for what I look for.
