Quote: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
I think it's a matter of definitions. God is usually described as the creator of everything in theism, and it's surrounded by some really weird set of properties ( such as omnipotence, and stuff ). I don't know if demons, angels, etc fit that description, but I think they currently don't.
If you take angels/demons as Gods however, you can call Christianity a polytheist ( or pantheist
) view if you wish so, I guess. It's only a way to describe that a worldview contain supernatural beings, as I see it, so I really don't mind much about that definition issue 
.
