Monothesim. One God in three separate but equal parts Father, Son, Holy Spirt. Making the Trinity.

Convoluted confusing answer: Trinitarian monotheism.
Explanation: Some forms of Christianity reject the Godhead (trinity), and follow monotheism. However, those who have a Holy Trinity (Father/son/ghost) are triathletes. Technically they don't have three gods, however, and I think that form of Christianity is closest to polytheism. The existence of a negative god, or Satan, lends itself to any polytheist religion.

The most accurate answer is probably to describe Christianity as Trinitarian Monotheism. We don't believe there are 3 Gods, but rather one God with three modes. Its a difficult concepts to understand, and deserves a better explanation than space here can provide.
