Atheism or Intolerance???

One of the reasons that Socrates was on trial was because of the charge of Atheism. How can he be charged with atheism if he make multiple references to God throughout his dialogs? I think the Athenians charged him with atheism but what it really was, was intolerance. Everyone knows that ancient Greece had a polytheistic culture but Socrates multiple times refers to God not gods. I think by not acknowledging the gods in the manner that the Athenians did Socrates angered them enough to put him on trial. But the almost better question is God does he acknowledge? There is a possibility that it could be the same God we worship but highly unlikely since God wasn't introduced to Rome until later. We must remember that Plato writes of Socrates in the BC era. Socrates' second charge was corrupting the youth of Athens. My second question is how did he break a law when he was teaching them? It's hard to convict a man of a crime when the laws of your city aren't even written down. I could understand a charge against him if he was teaching them to question something such as a parent's profession. But that isn't what they questioned their parents about they asked about truth, piety, and justice. The only thing that Socrates was guilty of is making stupid parents realize how stupid they are.
