I disagree as does the settled opinion of orthodox Christians for the past 2000 years.
Don't criticize what you can't understand.

The concept of the Trinity is NOT polytheism. That is YOUR understanding of it.
Christianity is based on monotheism, worship of the same God that Jews and Muslims worship. The tinitarian nature of God is not something that can be explained. It is based on faith. People who cannot accept theological arguments based on faith, fall for humanistic myths like evolution. Evolution also requires faith. No one has ever seen it. It can't be done in a laboratory. But some people think that since it makes no reference to a Creator, it must be scientific.
Belief in evolution is belief in magic.

The trinity is a way of explaining the multiple forms of God. Unlike with polytheistic religions, the trinity is separate parts of the same.

Hinduism also says the same thing -not 2000 years back but 6000 years back.----"Ekam Eva Brahmam-Vipra Bahudha Vadhanthi"--Supreme Spirit(GOD) is ONE and Only ONE.-Learned people call Brahmam as TRIMURTHY=Trinity--Brahma=Creaator--Vishnu=Savior---Rudra=who replaces the present Universe with a new one.Roman catholics mock at HIndus (in India) as "Polytheists" and they atlk about Trinity=Sprit,Father,son

Do you look at the atom as 3 separate entities or as one entity made of of 3 parts?
The Trinity is not that difficult a concept to understand. And I thought we Christians were the dumb ones.

Polytheism can also mean a god who has several facets or manifestations, so technically the idea of a trinity godhead is polytheistic in nature. However, the church (at least the catholic church) apparently spent alot of time to word the description of the trinity so that it dodges even this definition of polytheism. Since they've put so much work into their delusions, just let them keep them.

Polyththeists might describe the trinity as 1+1+1=3,however, True trinitarianism is: 1x1x1=1
Man is also a triune being Soul,Spirit,Body=one person
Not fuzzy math,one just needs to use the correct equation.

And the christian trinity is not the only triune god out there either. There are about a dozen or so interspersed in world mythology.

Strongly disagree
Even if you wish to argue they are not three in one, there is no denying that Father, Son and Spirit are one in purpose.
Give my one example of any polytheist belief system in which all the Gods and Goddesses are one in purpose.
There are examples of triune gods and goddesses in polytheism, of course. But there are none where the triune god or goddess is the ONLY one worshiped or is completely united in purpose. At least I can't think of any.
Why worship more than one god or goddess if their purpose is exactly the same.
