A unitrian? god much more believeable. As belief in the Trinity requires one to disregard many factors, some even found in the bible.
Foremost among these Deuteronomy 4:16...and may not really make for yourselves the carved image, the form of ANY symbol. I can only assume this includes the crucifix.

First of all, before anything else, everyone after me who points this out after I do is a bandwagoning moron. Don't beat people up for spelling errors.
Truth 6, you meant "accept". "Except" means "forget about", which I think is the exact opposite of what you were asking. An honest, and easy, mistake to make. If anyone does jump on you for it despite what I said, just ignore them.
To answer your question, I don't think most atheists have anything against the Trinitrain belief specifically; the three more common reasons are, simply put
1.)Miracles don't happen, and
2.)The ethics supported in the pentateuch or torah (which the Judeo-christian religions are founded upon) are barbaric and often times things we'd consider evil today, and
3.)Many religions, new age or not, make several fantastic and hard to believe claims (everything from towers that reach into heaven, dragons, and unicorns, to being able to survive on saliva and air, and eating ground up jade and diamonds in order to live forever, depending on which part of the world you live in), alongside everything else, usually as an attempt to explain how things are the way they are, and require people to believe these things in order to claim the religion as their own
God being one being instead of three doesn't really make much of a difference to most atheists.

No - both are not easily accepted if both reference to the Christian God. It might make it harder to accept the 3 in 1 only after the fact that we, or I, had to believe in a God first of all.

Nope. Supernatural explanations not needed. I'm ok saying "I don't know." And I think questions are groovy. I disbelieve in thousands of other gods and you have no problem with that. Why should my disbelief in 1 or 3 more be a big difference? It's not the number, it's the concept.

There was a question earlier about the Big Bang. In all honesty, something had to start it all. A single being or multiple is immaterial. What is the question in this day and age is who is sitting on a cloud throwing you a plague or making your life miserable. No one could be that petulant.

I really don't understand why you are asking this of atheists. Neither is anything I would or could accept. You are putting God in both versions, and I don't believe in any gods. I won't give you "God is not real" crap, but I don't believe in god, therefore I will not deny my belief of that. If you can't understand or accept that, that is YOUR problem.

For me it's not a question of what form deities are presented in. Singular, male/female aspect, trinity, pantheon, whatever. Doesn't matter. What matters is a single question: Is there any legitimate, compelling evidence to support the claim? So far, I've not seen any of that for any religion.

yes so i am the daughter of my father but then again i am he because it's in our DNA but holy sh!t then i am my own father and my father is my daughter but if we are the same then he is not my father and i am not his daughter because we are one single being and then again the story suddenly messes up when a "brother" shows up and believe or not my little brother is nothing but my and my dad's shadow or something so we have two shadows and that makes us three+1=four but wait! no it is just one shadow because we are supposed to be three but.....hold on, then all of us should only be a shadow.
Obviously. Makes perfect sense to me. I am a believer now.

When I was a believer, (as a child) I used to think of it as Jesus was a *man*, but his "SOUL" was "God". So I guess the first choice there (God was a piece of him) would be easier to believe to me IF I still believed in such things.

To answer your question:
To me (an atheist) it would be EASIER to believe in 1 god than the trinity.
Easier does not equal belief though... I can't find myself to believe either!
