3: a living thing; especially : person
As we can see, the Christian God, according to the belief, has a quality or state of existence and is conceivable, and is conscious life...and is a living thing.

Deity: 1a : the rank or essential nature of a god : divinity b capitalized : god 1, supreme being
2: a god or goddess <the deities of ancient Greece>
3: one exalted or revered as supremely good or powerful
Divinity, god, supreme being, supremely good/powerful...all of this applies to the traditional theistic God.
It seems pretty clear-cut to me.
So there are three gods then. Got it.
Polytheism.
