Jesus is explicitly called a creation Colossians

Jesus claims to be lesser than the father

Why do christians overwhelmingly accept the trinity when it's obviously not in the book?

Groups like Oneness Pentecostals argue exactly what you wrote: the Bible portrays Jesus as created, not coequal and coeternal.

Not long ago someone posted here that
>By the way my theory about the Trinity is so important to Christians is that it's hazing ritual. They want to buck break their followers' will by demanding that they admit allegiance to absolute nonsense. It's the same reason why communists parade Hegelian dialectics around. Once you admit that you believe in this stuff, you can be convinced of anything. However, this also means that potential converts who are not willing to kneel before nonsense are pushed away from religion.
And Idk much about communists but it does sound like a decent explanation of Christians imo.

Reminder that prior to the council of Nicaea, Arianism was the dominant sect of Christianity. Even Constantine the Great himself was sympathetic to Arianism and was baptized by Eusebius the Arian.
