It really depends on the church, actually. There are many humanist Unitarian congregations that don't speak of any divine spirit of any sort. There are also those that say the Lord's Prayer. The latter creeps me out as I was raised in the middle (or at least more humanist). I personally wouldn't ever describe myself as Christian since I do not believe as Christ as my/a savior. I think he may have existed and if he did he was a pretty cool guy... a bit of a hippie, but had his heart in the right place. I do, however, believe in some sort of "god-like force." The way Yoda describes The Force is pretty close to my view of G-d. This also gives me the creeps as my religious views are similar to a George Lucas film, but what can you do? ;)
