Is it true that the concept of Trinity was adapted by early Christian Fathers from older religion?

No. This is a common misconception about all kinds of basic Christian doctrines. They got it from The Bible where evidence of it is abundant. They had no need to look elsewhere. If on the other hand, by older religion you mean Judaism, then the Jewish scriptures speak to a limited degree about some aspects of the trinity - although followers of Judaism themselves do not of course believe in the trinity.

Are Christians really monotheistic if they believe in the trinity?
It is a continuing matter of debate whether worship of the Holy Trinity is consistent with monotheism. In a similar way, some early Christians objected to prayers being said to saints, resulting in the practice being defined as the veneration, not worship, of saints, and the doctrine that prayers to saints could be for intercession only.If Christians define their religious beliefs as monotheistic, while believing in the Holy Trinity, then the meaning of the word can be adapted to include this usage. After all, monotheism does not convey any form of superiority over polytheism.
