By forcing these beliefs upon others despite the complete lack of logic involved in them.

I been where you are trying to write a paper. So here is some information and links to help you out.
Revelation means the disclosure of something that was unknown. There are two types of revelation: natural and special. Natural revelation is that which is revealed about God through what we can see in creation (Rom. 1:20 ). Through creation we may learn that there is a God, that He is in control, that He has an order, and that He is concerned for our welfare. However, through natural revelation, we are not able to discover the plan of salvation. That comes from special revelation.
Special revelation is that which is given to us through Prophets, the Bible, and even visions and dreams (Num. 12:6-8). The ultimate in revelation is the incarnation of Jesus because He came to reveal the Father to us (Matt. 11:27; Luke 10:22; Heb. 1:1-3) and to communicate to us the gospel (1 Cor. 15:1-4 by which comes salvation.
The word "trinity" is not found in the Bible. Nevertheless, it is a word used to describe one fact the Bible teaches about God: Our God is a Trinity. This means there are three persons in one God, not three Gods. The persons are known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and they have all always existed as three separate persons. The person of the Father is not the same person as the Son. The person of the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit. The person of the Holy Spirit is not the same person as the Father. If you take away any one, there is no God. God has always been a trinity from all eternity: "From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God" (Psalm 90:2).

Although I am not certain exactly what you are looking for I will try.
Revelations is the last book of the bible. It tells how the whole story ends. Revelation describes the last days and how this world will be judged. God is not mean or cruel in the way he judges. God judges us all by our choices. Did we choose God (Jesus) or Sin? Everyone has the same chance to choose. It is our free will.
The Trinity is how the Christian God is described. The Christian God is Triune, or three in one. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. All three persons of the Trinity have been present throughout all time. They are uncreated, or existing eternally.
This is a hard thing for many people to 'get'. This may help, we (humans) are created in God's image. We also have 3 distinct attributes. Our physical body, our mind and our spirit. If you consider this you will see that we are 3 parts, but one person. So it is with God.
I hope this helps

What do you mean by celebrated? NO more or less celebrated than any other of God's truths. Try to rephrase the question and you will get more specific answers

Still a strange question friend. I think you are focussing too much on dogma and traditions. THis is what is generally practiced by cathlocism and other legalistic doctrines. THe trinity is a cornerstone for Christianity. THe belief in the God Head is an act of faith that Christians make. Im still unsure how to answer you in "celebration". Its faith a belief...there really is no celebratory act.

The Trinity? Every Sunday morning we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus the Son (2nd Person of the Trinity). We celebrate His birth at Christmas, and His crucifixion and resurrection at Easter. On the Day of Pentecost, we celebrate the action of the Holy Spirit (3rd person of the Trinity) on the Church. We don't seem to have a day specifically designated to celebrate the father.
Revelation is the last book of the Bible. There is no special day to celebrate that in any one of the Christian confessions, that I know of.

We don't celebrate revelation. Revelation is a short book that you can read in one setting. It is mostly prophetic and hard to understand outside of the Kingdom Of GOD and even inside sometimes. We do however Celebrate the trinity. GOD in three persons. Father Son and Holy Spirit one complete GOD.
Shalom.

Works for me.
