No, Christians believe in only one g*d. They would be extremely offended at the notion of other people declaring belief in other g*ds or themselves a g*d. It’s the best way to piss off both an atheist and a christian at the same haha, at least according to me (atheist) and a (Mormon) friend I have. Before there were Christians, you had people believing there were multiple g*ds and then the Christian g*d clearly says he is a jealous g*d and he is the only one that can be worshipped according to Moses and the ten commandments.
The ten commandments don’t say no other gods. They say “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”. It’s absolutely fine to have other gods behind Deus, or equal to Him. Just no worshipping other gods more than Deus if you’re a christian.
Monotheism isn’t an essential part of christianity, it’s a pointless and harmful choice that assholes decided to justify by hiding behind the abuse of their own supposed religious beliefs.
If you think the Romans didn’t modify those to suit the Capital C Church based in Rome… Well, it doesn’t matter that much to the discussion because Jewish belief at the time was firmly monotheistic and that is in fact a primary grievance for the Jewish rebellions that happened at the time.

They’re differentiating between belief in a god and worship of a god.
Also, put a backslash before asterisks and it won’t make italics.
Thanks, I couldn’t figure it out haha

1 Corinthians 8:6, Deuteronomy 6:4, 1 Timothy 2:5, Isaiah 44:6, James 2:19, John 17:3 would disagree with you.
Need any more?
You got any pre-roman sources or are you just going to trust what the Romans made up about Christianity after Jesus died?
Deuteronomy and Isaiah are Pre-Roman.
And the New Testament was not written by the Romans, but by first Century Christians

We literally have a surviving copy of Isaiah from before Jesus was even around, nevermind the Roman Church
We have complete manuscripts of the New Testament that are still dated from before Constantine
There is no evidence of the New Testament or Old Testament being altered by the Roman Church
