Why not dismiss the trinitarian belief outright

Go figure.

I am reading Craig's article about this 
https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings...e-trinity/

He says, verbatim : "There are three persons, denominated the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who deserve to be called God, and yet there is but one God, not three".

So Craig thinks the Father has all the properties a god has. And so do the Son and the HS. Anyway The last bit in bold really seems to me an arbitrary justification, if an entity has the properties of a God, then it is the God. Why block the conclusion there are three Gods AND one god according to this belief.?

Why go to the atheists to ask when you know they already don't buy into it?

Well, aren't there any christians here ?

I am just curious to know if there are any real justifications for this belief. Most atheists here were christians too so I expected you would know a lot about this

At least monotheism isn't logically contradictory. So, in this sense it is superior -or more Abrahamic, as you put it- to trinitanian belief, I think.
