I am not a "Christian" in the sense that I don't pattern my life after Christ but that does not mean I do not appreciate those aspects of his mission that ring true...the same with other great religious figures. Could I attend a Unitarian Christian church? I think so...after all...I don't think the divide is so great...if the minister preaches from a distinctly Unitarian Christian perspective (even more theologically radical than liberal Christian doctrine) I think I would be able to enjoy the service and take away much of value. It would certainly fill some needs....that are currently lacking in my local area.
I'm sure you could find a church that is theologically challenging...but likely one that views social justice as more important than spiritual formation and probably talks more about global warming than any concept of salvation 
It would be nice to help revitalize some Unitarian churches...the problem is trying to find enough people. I know lots of people whose theological views are liberal but the problem is they are either also incredibly political or have shunned organized religion.
