There have been Christians who have rejected the trinity for more than 500 years: Unitarians.
The actual concept of the trinity was generated by the early Catholic Church - and not without serious debate.
Unitarians, who believe in religious freedom for all, long ago rejected the concept of a separate God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Ghost. They saw all aspects of God as a unity of identity.
Unitarians were persecuted for this belief, and there were martyrs. Today, Unitarians uphold religious freedom, even within their own ranks; members are given the serious task of a "free and responsible search for truth and meaning".
Unitarians are not an obscure sect. Famous Unitarians have included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Josepth Priestly, Linus Pauling, Florence Nightingale, Christopher Reeve, and Frank Lloyd Wright. They have also had considerable political impact over the past couple of centuries in their work for civil rights, including the abolition of slavery.

Instead of deciding what you want to believe, and then searching for somebody who teaches it, why not look to the Bible, and make your beliefs fit it?
(For a quick doctrinal point:
The Father is God - Ephesians 4:6
The Son is God - Matthew 1:22-23
The Holy Spirit is God - Acts 5:3-4
The Father is not the Son - Luke 22:42
The Son is not the Holy Spirit - John 14:16
The Holy Spirit is not the Father - Luke 11:13)

You can worship one God and still believe in Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. I don't see how one can consider themselves a Christian and not believe in the Son of God.

The Trinity is one god! let me give you an example of a Trinity!
A book is an example of a trinity it has width, height, and thickness "one book". Now try taking away any dimension and you no longer have a book "it would not exist". The same with the
trinity the father, son , holy spirit "one god". Take away one of them and there is know god.
god bless David

Christianity is by definition those who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Though there are some religions that claim to be christian, such as mormons and jehovah's witnesses, that do not belive this and are therefore not christians.
All true branches of christianity belive in the triune God: Father, son and Holy Spirit as one.

A sect that believes that God has no son is not Christianity.

Not in Christianity but in Islam. Jesus (pbuh) Is the great prophet and I eagerly await his reappearance.
