The bible contains a whole host of angels, demons and supernatural characters that are gods in all but name and which in other mythologies would be given that title.
​
Possibly, but Christians have never regarded these characters as Gods. They don't have anything like the same role as the Christian God.
​
Why must a 'supernatural character' be a God? They aren't necessarily the same thing atall.
​
I agree with CS that the trinity is polytheistic though.
