Depends on the flavor of Christianity. The Roman Catholic church
believes in a triune godhead. The Unitarians think it's a bunch of
malarky. (I *think* the proper term is "malarky". They don't seem to
use the term "heresy" much.)

but how is Judaism not monotheistic?

I am the lord THY god.  Thou shalt have NO OTHER GODS before thee.

If there were not other gods, wouldn't it say, "I am the Lord, the ONLY
God that actually exists"?
