Isnt' Christianity technically tritheistic? "Father, Son and the Holy Ghost"?
-Most Christians are trinitarians, which means they basically believe that there is "one God with three persons." Some are unitarians, which means they believe in one God exclusively. Generally, most Christians wouldn't call themselves tritheistic, they would just say they believe there are multiple manifestations of God.--John 13:43, 5 March 2007 (EST)
I de-capitalized "God," as I think of this term as referring (at least in American contexts) to the Christian or Muslim God, and since we're talking about all monotheistic religions here I think it'd be more appropriate to be broader.--John 13:43, 5 March 2007 (EST)
