Summary/Abstract: In the Reform movement is distinguished the Italian Evangelical-rationalist orientation which will create Unitarianism. Unitarians are the Aryans of modern times. Modern Antitrinitarism, which began is link to the name of Laelius Socinus in Poland and Dávid Ferenc in Transylvania, is considered an elite movement, spiritual current, liberalist and Judaizing. According to them, Christianity has recognized several outside authorities: the Bible, the Church, the clergy, the papacy, the tradition. Faith is no more a spiritual experience, but accepting dogmas, creeds, ecclesiastical power. Consequently, they say that the only authority is an internal one defined by reason and conscience.
