The largest thing that sets Chrstianity apart from Judaeism and Islam, is that Christ died for our sins and is the son of God. Therefore, technically, no.

I took a theology class at a Catholic University and that was the exact claim - Jesus was only human. That is not the official stance of the church, but was taught by the University. MY thought on the matter is that removing divinity from Christ makes your church not Christian.

I was disgusted that this was taught but the state of seminaries and those pastors they turn out is another topic.

Doesn't sound like much of a Catholic university!

I was really shocked, but it is a comment problem in seminaries. What you end up with is a religion without God. Keep that in mind when you see priests that allow Muslim prayer services to be conducted inside churches. While we live in a mostly mundane world, you cannot have Christianity without the miraculous. It doesn't work.

Orthodox Christians believe that way.

Hmm, there has never been an orthodox church near me and I've never met one, but it was my understanding that certain sects absolutely do not see Jesus as the son of God. I suppose I could be wrong....

Cathars. But they got exterminated by a church crusade in the middle ages:

"According to some of their contemporary enemies Cathars did not accept the Trinitarian understanding of Jesus, but considered him the human form of an angel"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharism#

So I guess the answer is no as far as I know since the only group that believed that was destroyed.

There was a group that believed that the apostles were psychedelic drug users and "Jesus" was their hallucinations telling them to be better people.

A guess, the Jehovah's Witnesses? I have heard they deny Christ's divinity

Any denomination that thought Christ was only a man would have to explain away his various miracles, one would assume the only other explanation in that regard would be that he was a charlatan, thats not exactly the best way to describe one your church reveres.
