Christianity is needless to say a monotheistic religion. There's one God who is almighty. But indeed as a matter of fact this religion includes many aspects from religions in the past prior to them. One of main themes in Zoroasterism is the struggle between good and evil, and this theme was embraced in Christianity later. Besides I believe the existence of many spiritual beings as Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Seraphim, Cherubim, Ophanim, etc. are an evidence that the monotheism was developed from the tradition of polytheism in the past. In fact, description of archangels abruptly started appearing after the exile in Babylon. At that time monotheism was not common in Babylon.
