You have made a point there, my friend. And they say they do not worship Satan... then why are they so hell-bent (pun intended) on preaching HIS name alongside God's name as well? Why teach people something that you don't want them to become fascinated in? Why even recognize him?
Good point, you make.

Satan is the god of this world. Meaning it is dominated by wickedness. The Bible says there are many lords and many gods, but there is only one TRUE GOD, the Almighty. Satan is a false god along with others. So. Christianity worships one God who manifests himself in three persons. Just like water can be solid , liquid or vapor, it is still one thing, water. Peace.

Christianity is kinda polytheistic because of the Holy Trinity. God The Father, God The Son?, and God The Holy Spirit? i don't get it.

No, as a Christian I do not worship Satan. Also, there is only one true God, and his name is Jehovah. (Ps. 83:18) Satan is not a god, although right now he is ruling over this world.

polytheism: belief in or worship of more than one god
Christians believe in Satan, but we don't believe in him as having the power of a god. We don't consider him a "god," rather a fallen angel. God is the one who has the power and is the one that we worship.

"It has been believed heretofore in the world that there is one devil that presides over the hells; that he was created an angel of light; but having become rebellious he was cast down with his crew into hell. This belief has prevailed because the devil and satan, and also lucifer, are mentioned by name in the Word, and the Word in those places has been understood according to the sense of the letter. But by "devil" and "satan" there hell is meant, "devil" meaning the hell that is behind, where the worst dwell, who are called evil genii; and "satan" the hell that is in front, where the less wicked dwell, who are called evil spirits; and "lucifer" those that belong to Babel, or Babylon, who would extend their dominion even into heaven. That there is no one devil to whom the hells are subject is evident also from this, that all who are in the hells, like all who are in the heavens, are from the human race (see n. 311-317); and that those who have gone there from the beginning of creation to this time amount to myriads of myriads, and every one of them is a devil in accord with his opposition to the Divine while he lived in the world" (Heaven and Hell n. 544).

Satan is not really considered a god. He is a fallen angel. People that do worship Satan worship not really knowing what they are worshipping.

Satan is a fallen angel, and thus, a created being. He is not divine. There is one God existing in trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost).

god which is the creator and satan as a creation. one can be everywhere at once, the other can be in one place at one time. one is omnipotent the other not. christianity claims one god and no others.

No. Real Christianity involves asking Jesus into one's heart - to live there.
It focuses on the person and a relationship with the living God - Jesus.
