Are the Jews, Muslims, Jehovah Witnesses, Unitarians, and Oneness Pentecostals correct when they describe Christianity as Polytheism masquerading as Monotheism?

Yep. Allah is the same old jealous, petty, capricious, mass-murdering psychopathic Abrahamic diety of desert monotheism that is described in the Old Testament... Yahweh... Jehovah... whatever.
Christians seem to think that around 2,000 years ago, this diety developed some kind of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), in which he manifested a hippie-like personality (Jesus... spent some time on earth... can now be eaten in the form of a cracker), and some Casper the Ghost-like character with pedophilic tendencies (suspected of having impregnated a 12 or 13 year-old virgin... and being honored for it).
The Moslems, however, do not share that belief; they see him as his same-old psychopathic self, essentially unchanged since his old-testament days... except that he seems to have updated his reward system about 1,500 years ago, when he started handing over virgins (in heaven) to be defiled by insane zealots, as a show of gratitude for them having carried out mass-murder and killing themselves in his name. (I think that's what happens to Catholic nuns, after they die. Where else would they find enough virgins?)
Sweet.
I find him very interesting to note that most Christians... including Christian preachers... haven't got the slightest clue about the historical roots of their own religion, let alone any other religion.

Not at all.Elohim, The name most used to describe God is plural. To understand The Nature of El shadai , God almighty, We have to step out of the box. Stop trying to see God with our feeble human minds. God has condescended to forms we can relate to. If you looked at God as water and poured him into 20,000 glasses and pose the question. Which one is God. The answer is all.
If your arm left you and went to the store for a paper. Who got the paper. You did, such it is with God.
As for his personalities , It is a way for revelation of God.
In Genesis 18 God appeared to Abraham as three men. The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah was great and God said I shall go down , but the other two turned and went and Abraham stood yet before God.

Trinitarians are polytheists. Those religious ideas do not originate from the Bible, but from Babylonish false religion, which the Jews and true Christians rejected and continue to reject.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

Who said God suffers from that? You have multiple personalities too, in case you did not know it.. As for the rest of the question, I don't know any of those other so-called gods.

As a Latter-Day Saint we believe God has only one personality. I refuse to worship a God that has Mental problems.

The only thing God suffers from are those which He created (including you) rejecting Him
