Christian heresies are many. Through studying such errors as arianism, gnosticism, modalism, and pelagianism, Christians can better understand their own faith. A heresy is a deviation from the truth.
1 Corinthians 11:19 "For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you."
1. Adoptionism - God granted Jesus powers and then adopted him as a Son.
2. Albigenses - Reincarnation and two gods: one good and other evil.
3. Apollinarianism - Jesus divine will overshadowed and replaced the human.
4. Arianism - Jesus was a lesser, created being.
5. Docetism - Jesus was divine, but only seemed to be human.
6. Donatism - Validity of sacraments depends on character of the minister.
7. Gnosticism - Dualism of good and bad and special knowledge for salvation.
8. Kenosis - Jesus gave up some divine attributes while on earth.
9. Modalism - God is one person in three modes.
10. Monarchianism - God is one person.
11. Monophysitism - Jesus had only one nature: divine.
12.Nestorianism - Jesus was two persons.
13. Patripassionism - The Father suffered on the cross
14. Pelagianism - Man is unaffected by the fall and can keep all of God's laws.
15. Semi-Pelagianism - Man and God cooperate to achieve man's salvation.
16. Socinianism - Denial of the Trinity. Jesus is a deified man.
17. Subordinationism - The Son is lesser than the Father in essence and or attributes.
18. Tritheism - the Trinity is really three separate gods.
Do any of these describe your current theology?

Yes. Don't forget to mention trinitarianism, sola fide, and sola scriptura, all of which are in conflict with the Bible and early Christianity.

I do not think a belief can be a heresy.
Only acts can be heretical.
For it is only through actions that we can deface the image of God in our brothers and sisters.
When did God become the thought police, anyway?
Do you really think God says you go to heaven for believing the Trinity but Tritheism is a one-way ticket to hell?
All the Best!

Like first century Christians, atheism is the best term for my heresy.
