Isn't it obvious that trinity was introduced "later" by, let's say, Romans? - because worshipping three gods was essential part of every pagan religion, and that's why they switched Roman Capitoline Triad of Jupiter (father), Juno (wife), and Minerva (daughter) with invention of Trinity. And yes invention, because word "trinity" is never mentioned in the Bible. And that's why trinity doesn't make sense from many angles.
Romans also seem to have started the worship of Mary by replacing goddess Magna Mater (Cybele) with Mary. And also they seem to have put Christmas on December 25th.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
