no, i know there are lots of other religious groups that believe in the trinity
for example , when i was still with the born again christians, they do believe in the trinity
this is not surprising as the belief in the trinity is supported by the bible
first, we all believe that there is god, one god who is in heaven
then jesus, he was god as stated in philippians2:6
therefore we may think that there are two gods, but there is only one as the father and the son, jesus, are one
this can be explained by considering that god in heaven is infinite, and we cant take anything from him, that means even if he decides to manifest himself as man, his being god in heaven remains the same
in mathematics- infinity plus any number,n, equals infinity
then theres the holy spirit, which can be read all throughout the bible
therefore the beleif in trinity is common because the bible supports it

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states that there is one true God made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt
Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 A.D. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed from that council:
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. ...
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. ...
With love in Christ.

ALL Christians believe in ONE GOD: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus commanded:
Matt 28:18-19
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
(from New International Version)

There would be more doubters if they knew the Catholic Church invented the Trinity in the 3rd century.
