"It becomes tricky to negotiate if you start inviting real religion into it and we're not going to do that," Rucka added. "But the sort of unspoken rule in the DCU is that the Judeo-Christian God sits above all others. And then below that you can have your New Gods and your Greek gods and whoever else you want."

It's vague, and if you're drawing conclusions based on it, you've got to include the caveat that the DC editorial board sucks at keeping cosmological things like this consistent across titles. And it changes every other big storyline. And this was only for New Earth, but I doubt they changed it.

The Presence is the most powerful, but is almost always ignored. Using him turns the cosmological scene in a very set direction. And while the Abrahamic God sits above all others, the book of Genesis didn't happen to the letter. Or it did? It's just a mix of whatever writers want. Or not want. There's no one in-universe explanation possible for him.

While the Presence is the most powerful, DC doesn't grade powers. So power levels cannot be objectively compared. While the Overmonitor/Prime Monitor/whatever is less powerful, it's too crass to say he's "proven to be far beneath". That's the interpretation.
