I guess my opinion would be even more than ἀνάθεμα, since I think that every person has his own idiosyncratic concept of deity. I would argue that there are as many gods as there are people, each person conceiving of God in different terms. Since Christians generally believe in a God that exists in three persons, they worship a different generic concept of God than the Jewish generic concept of God, which is absolute unity without "substance vs. person."
