What bothers me about the Unity teachings is that they have taken metaphysical truths about the Universe, and they have tried to make them fit into the Christian mold. They have found symbols in the Bible for everything they want to teach. I see that as hypocrisy.
Why hold on to religion, when Universal laws can be accessed without a fiction book to back them up? Personally, I do not need the teachings of Jesus to understand that the Universe operates under certain laws that when adhered to, produce certain results.
If I constantly visualize anything, the chances that I will get that something are pretty good. It doesn't matter that Jesus may have used the same technique. Why would I, then, use name of Jesus? It only hinders my belief in the Universe, because such name was used in the past to force me to adhere to behaviours and doctrines that didn't even make sense to me. Other people believe the same metaphysical stuff, and don't wave around the name of Jesus.
My dream is to find a group where people will believe in the Universe independently of religion. That would be nice. But Unity is just an adaptation of Christianity to a pagan, metaphysical view of the world. Frankly I could do without the whole thing, if I could just find something else. But, what would that be?
