How many G-d's?

Joey is a nice Jewish boy born to an atheist Jewish (what an oxymoron! But that's for another week) family.
The father is adamant about not giving his son a Jewish education, but, to his utter dismay, the only decent kindergarten in the neighborhood is Jewish. So, reluctantly, he sends Joey there.
The first afternoon, Joey comes home from school and the proud father asks him to repeat what he learnt that morning. Joey proudly announces that he learnt that there is a G-d in this world!
Slap! The father flies into a rage. "What kind of nonsense are they throwing into your head? There ain't such a thing..."
When, throughout the week, Joey comes home announcing how G-d made the stars, and the ocean, the father decided to call the quits on this Jewish thing, and transfers his son to the local public school.
After a couple days Joey approaches his father: "Daddy please don't hit me; I just want to ask you one question. In the first school they taught me that there is one G-d who created every thing. In the second school, I hear about the trinity and the son of G-d. I'm totally confused!
"The father responds impatiently: "Listen Joey, I'll tell you once and once only: there is one G-d and we don't believe in him!"
