No, True monotheists understand that there is only one God who has as many names as their are cultures and languages.
Christians see many separate gods with there own version as being the best.

The Bible shows very clearly that there is only one God, and yet that there are three personal distinctions in His complex nature, traditionally referred to as "three Persons in the Godhead"—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is distinct from the others but never acts independently. They are one in nature and purpose. This mystery is called the doctrine of the Trinity, though that term is not used in the Bible. The teaching, however, is present in seed form in the Old Testament and is revealed explicitly in the New Testament. Note passages such as Matthew 28:19; John 10:30, 14:26; 2 Corinthians 13:14.
Our finite minds cannot understand or explain this mystery of God, which is nevertheless a fact. We must accept the truths found in the Word of God by faith even though we ourselves cannot comprehend them fully; read Hebrews 11:1,3,6 and 1 Corinthians 2:5-10;14; 13:12. It is really not surprising that the infinite God should be complex in His nature beyond the ability of finite humans to comprehend! This doctrine is absolutely essential to New Testament Christianity. Theologians have pointed out that if it were not true, the Bible would be unreliable, Christ would not be divine, and His death on the cross would not atone for our sins, being merely the death of a martyr.

Yes, that trinity thing is essentially the same as putting Christian holidays on pagan holidays (3 faces), and also Mary (Mother of God)--some people just have to have a Goddess.
My problem is this. If we believe the devil has so much power, how are we not revering him the same as we do God?

I guess this question is aimed at the concept of the "Holy Trinity" - the three-in-one Godhead.
I think Christians would identify themselves as Monotheists.
The three aspects of God are taught by most Christian churches to be three aspects of the one God.

Believing in one God- Yes. However, we believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost- three parts of the Godhead, each the same, each different.

Technically No, They are polythiests. They believe in one God, but they also believe in Jesus Christ who in his own right is a God, and they also believe in the Holy Ghost who in his own right is a God. So they believe not in one God but three. They just don't like to admit it because then they can't pick on Pagans for their multiple of gods.

With the exception of those who choose to believe in the old pagan dieties of old that depict God with three faces.

With all their talk of "one true god", one would assume so.
