And if this was not crucial, why do all professing Christians acknowledge His divinity, and identify those who do not as aberrant cultic sects, like Mormons and JW?
And I keep saying that believing Jesus is God is a separate issue from trinitarian theology.

I beg to differ with your last statement in a Christian historical text. The Jesus is God thing is the catalyst for the whole triune God myth.
Let’s say that everyone agrees that God is a cow, an eagle and an angel and worship God as such for 1500 years. Can I not find verses that refer to God as an eagle, cow, and the angel of God? What would we loose if we all got together and worshipped God Cow/chicken/angel, we would all be in oneness and happy about it. What makes truth is not mob rule, or majority rules. Jesus said God is Spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth, FOR THE FATHER seeks such. So if everyone worships a triune god, does that make God triune? Apparently, many think so. There is no mention of God being triune in the scriptures! The organization of such did not congeal until the 4th century, when Constantine wanted to make Christianity the state religion, but wanted a uniform belief system. That was then given, and woe to those who did not conform! So, most everybody now, still practices trinitarianism- does that make it truth?
I still don’t hear a refutation of Jesus stating the Father is the only true God! And what say ye to those verses in 1 Cor 15, where Christ’s rule is given back to God?
