To summarize, of the fifty largest Christian denominations on Wikipedia’s “List of Christian denominations by number of members”, only three do not believe in the Trinity. They are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and United Pentecostal Church International.
Currently there are groups of Christians that do not believe in the Trinity. But that does not mean that they do not believe that Jesus is God. Many in that group believe in a Bianity (God and Jesus is God) instead of the Trinity.
Just to put things into perspective, no Christian churches believed in the Trinity before the fourth century. Whatever they believed about God and Jesus (Many believed that Jesus was the Son of God whilst others may have believed that he was also a God) they knew nothing about the Trinity.
Christian Scientists believe the Trinity is life, truth, and love. As an impersonal principle, God is the only thing that truly exists. Everything else (matter) is an illusion. Jesus, though not God, is the Son of God. He was the promised Messiah but was not a deity.

When Christ says, “The Father and I are one”, we do not see a Trinitarian admission but rather that Christ is in a total submission, adoration and union with the Father, so much that through Christ you see God (“He who sees me, sees my Father”). Worshipping Christ becomes the same as worshipping God.
The seeds of trinitarian ideas were fabricated over the course of centuries following Jesus’ death and came into vogue in the 4th century AD when Emperor Constantine, an unbaptized pagan, threw his weight behind it for political reasons. After decades of controversy and much bloodshed over the issue, the doctrine of trinitarianism was made official by the Council of Constantinople 381AD. By then, there were no 12 apostles living to contradict it.

As an example, it notes that in India, “the great Triad include Brahma, the Creator, Vishnu, the Preserver and Shiva, the Destroyer.

Historically, the thought of a Trinity derived its basis from Greek philosophers of the third century AD, before the first four (of seven) church councils were called to settle the controversial issue of the relation between Jesus Christ and God his father.
Usually, in the Bible, it is translated from Greek and Hebrew to mean ‘wind’ or ‘breath’ and by several extended meanings: ‘dominate feeling,’ ‘spirit persons,’ and ‘vital or active force.’.
The Holy Spirit is not a person or entity, but is God’s great power – his invisible, active, penetrating, and vital force. The Trinity is definitely not biblical truth and is completely a man-made concept.
The Trinitarian doctrine is not rational; it just doesn’t make any sense. One would think that if the Trinity is correct, the Bible would present clear evidence in scripture and explain it throughly. There is no record of the Trinity doctrine ever being taught and, for being such an important part of Christian doctrine, …
There is no record of the Trinity doctrine ever being taught and, for being such an important part of Christian doctrine, it is striking that the word Trinity does not even appear in the Bible.
