let x represent the number of gods in the universe

it is obviously false that x=1 => x=0,

so, its negation,

~(x=1 => x=0)

must be true.

now, if we consider the truth table:

        p q p=>q ~p OR q

        T T T T
        T F F F
        F T T T
        F F T T
(for inclusive OR)

we see that

~(x=1 => x=0)

must be equivalent to:

~(~(x=1) OR (x=0))

~~(x=1) AND ~(x=0)

x=1 AND x!=0

which implies that x=1

therfore the number of gods in the universe is one;
thus, there is one god and one god only.
