   Unitarian Universalists. Originally two different (Protestant Christian)   
   denominations, merged around 1960, I think.   
      
   The Unitarians believed there is only one God - the Trinity is nonsense.   
   The Universalists believed there is no Hell - everyone ends up in the   
   same place, whatever that is.   
      
   Much more information at https://uua.org   
      
   I don't think there are any congregations in Spain.   
   For other countries, see https://www.uua.org/global/faith/uus-abroad
