Raised Unitarian if anything -- we moved after fifth grade and there wasn't anything in particular in the way of a Unitarian church in Rapid City back then, so we took to sleeping in on Sundays too -- now baptized and confirmed Episcopalian.

I like to think this helps me have a broad denominational perspective. To do Unitarianism well requires a strong intellectual effort; you must discover your faith. Anglican-Community Episcopalianism strongly encourages use of your intellect. The Episcopals say you don't have to disbelieve in dinosaurs to believe in God.

One fallout of such intellectual effort is the great heap of Episcopalian jokes. The "Ten Top Reasons to Be an Episcopalian" kind of thing is a great favorite. "Catholicism Light -- Now With One-Third Less Guilt" is another.
