Well, then, you can rule out Unitarian! :-)

(The choir sings in Latin if the words aren't gender free.)

However, if you do want an essay on the relationship between being a
symphonic musician and a member of a religious denomination, I can
highly recommend Randall Davidson's "The Young Lutheran's Guide to the
Orchestra" (text and narration by Garrison Keillor). Available
commercially on CD. (Yes, there is a moment of consideration as to
whether a good Lutheran should play clarinet, and why not.) All in good
humor, of course.
