Christians will generally deny the existence of the Mayan, Hindu, Ancient Roman, Ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Sumerian, Sikh, and many hundreds of other Gods and Goddesses, even as they assert their belief in the Christian Trinity. Thus, the difference between a typical Christian and a typical Atheist is numerically small: The strong Atheist believes that none of the many thousands of Gods and Goddesses exist; the Christian believes that one God exists in a certain structure -- a Trinity -- whereas all of the other thousands of deities are nonexistent, artificial creations by humans. Although the numerical difference is much less that 0.1%, the philosophical difference is immense.
I think I agree with this. I read it on ReligiousTolerance.org by the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance. What others have said here is also correct in that we all think alike most of the time. We all think that there are thousands of deities that are nonexistent, artificial creations by humans.

And I see the easter bunny whenever I eat chocolate and/or hardboiled eggs.
The thing is that seeing the easter bunny whenever you eat chocalate and / or hardboiled eggs compared to the advice of a spiritual leader to his followers to not use condoms is harmless. Calling someone insane just because he does not believe whatever it is that you believe is not harmless.
Skoro, is your point of view that all one needs to do in life is not hurt the other fellow living creature? Some people just can't help it, or is it that the Golden Rule is just for those school ninnies?
Christians reject all other god's, other than the one true God.
So you reject the one true God because of...?
Because we don't believe that there is such a thing which you refer to as the "one true God."
I also think that "reject" isn't the right word. "Reject" implies that there is such a thing and we just refuse to accept it. If there was a one true God, we would be fools to reject it. We aren't "rejecting God," we just don't believe that any god, true or false, exists.

It beats calling others nutcases (or blasphemers) for not believing the same things that I believe.
Calling someone insane just because he does not believe whatever it is that you believe is not harmless.
