Implications of unity
Oneness
The idea of unity extends beyond the nature of God; many Unitarians are inspired by the idea of unity to assert the oneness of humanity, and the oneness of the whole creation.
Dualism
Unity causes Unitarians to avoid some of the dualistic clichés of conventional thought.
Unitarians see no necessary conflict between faith and knowledge, religion and science, or even the sacred and the secular, because all of them are rooted in one single reality.
Evil
Unitarians don't believe in original sin. Human beings have not fallen from grace and are not dependent on God's intervention to grant them salvation.
All human beings contain the potential to do good.
The evil in this world is the result of human actions, and so human beings are responsible for putting things right.
