My granny is a Jehova Witness, and those don't believe in the trinity. I've talked about the issue and she makes sense ( at least, inside christian theology), so I'm not sure about Trinity and I've contemplated the view that there is just one God and the Holy Ghost and Jesus are diferent entities "down" Jehova.
Trinity, angels, demons, Prime Evil(s), Horsemen of the Apocalypse, etc... there's a whole pantheon. I think of Christianity (under Nicene Creed) as having a primary god (with three personalities) and a great many lesser deities. Without NC, it's a pantheon with the same persons as separate forms.
I think that most Christians (of any variety) don't register all of these beings as deities... not sure how they rationalize that, but if you're one of them: I'm interested in hearing it

It's a big part of it, no lie

Nothing wrong with doubt. That's very healthy.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
