How was the true Christianity—which came with the monotheism of God and His sole worship—intermingled with polytheistic beliefs, so that they took Jesus and his mother as two gods besides God?

All prophets, including Jesus (peace be upon him), called for the monotheistic worship of Allah. However, Christians deviated from this fundamental principle to pagan beliefs such as the Trinity and the worship of Jesus and his mother. The Encyclopedia Americana confirms that monotheism preceded the Trinity, which deviated from the early Christian teaching. Will Durant points out the introduction of pagan elements, such as the worship of the Great Mother and other deities, into Christianity. Robertson also mentions similarities between Mithraism, a Persian religion, and Christianity, in the birth and miracles of Mithras. Léon Gautier believes that the origins of the Christian Trinity lie in Neoplatonic Greek philosophy, while Draper suggests that paganism entered Christianity through the influence of hypocrites within the Roman Empire, leading to a religion that blended Christianity with paganism.
