And every UU congregation I’ve ever seen has pretty explicitly NOT been Xian. Not even in a watered-down way.

“Our beliefs are diverse and inclusive. We have no shared creed. Our shared covenant is expressed through the inseparable and deeply interdependent shared values of interdependence, pluralism, justice, transformation, generosity, and equity – all centered around love. Although Unitarianism and Universalism both have origins as liberal Christian traditions, today we embrace diverse teachings from many different global religions and philosophies.” – https://www.uua.org/beliefs/what-we-believe
