[Ali Imran]

Let's us go to AI for some clarity 

Jews and Muslims generally do not regard Christians as polytheists. Instead, they recognize Christianity as a monotheistic religion, although they may have theological differences with Christian doctrines.

**Jewish Perspective:** 
Judaism strictly emphasizes the oneness of God (monotheism). While Judaism does not accept the Christian concept of the Trinity as compatible with strict monotheism, Jews traditionally do not view Christians as polytheists. Instead, they see Christianity as a monotheistic faith that has developed its own doctrines, which may differ from Jewish beliefs.

**Muslim Perspective:** 
Islam also emphasizes strict monotheism (tawhid). Muslims regard Jesus (Isa) as a prophet and not divine, and they believe that Christianity, in its doctrine of the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, deviates from pure monotheism. However, Muslims do not classify Christians as polytheists outright. Instead, they often describe Christian beliefs as a form of "associating partners with God" (shirk), which is considered a grave theological error, but not the same as polytheism. Islam generally considers Christians as "People of the Book" (Ahl al-Kitab), acknowledging their monotheistic roots, despite doctrinal differences.

**Summary:** 
- Neither Jews nor Muslims typically regard Christians as polytheists. 
- They see Christianity as a monotheistic faith with theological differences, especially regarding the nature of God and Jesus. 
- The primary concern is theological divergence rather than categorizing Christians as polytheists.

Christianity is supposed to be monotheistic but you associate partners to the one true God. So, while you say God is one but in practice, you associate partners with God when you take a man as God.
