I noticed many Christians believe in three Gods instead of one. I don't think they question what they are told in church, as there are many scriptures that indicate heavily Jesus didn't claim to be God. I'm not sure many of the original Christians would recognize what their sects grew to become. Arius was a reflection of what was probably a more widely held view before the church was monopolized by powers that schemed how to use the ideas to their benefit (such as the Council of Nicea, or Paul even at the beginning when he hijacked the church from James and Peter). In hindsight, I don't believe they could have pulled the idea off if more people could read and had been encouraged to read back then, coupled with how expensive books must have been when they were all created by hand instead of machine.
