Used Book in Good Condition
A good book on the subject: https://www.amazon.com/Three-Prophets-Religious-Liberalism-Channing/dp/1558962867
A couple of key points are that UU is non-dogmatic. There are some core concepts, but absolutely nothing is required except tolerance of other people's belief and willingness to engage.
So there are UUs who identify as Christian just as there are some who are atheist, Jewish, and anything else you can think of.
Unitarians of the past were not trinitarians, basically meaning that they didn't believe in the godhead of three beings who are one. Meaning that Jesus isn't necessarily divine, even if he's a prophet, meaning not Christian. Some theologians take this to its next logical point by saying that if Jesus hadn't fulfilled the Christ mythos, another man would have, so divinity there isn't particularly important.
I'm probably explaining it badly so I recommend reading the book.
