In that aspect he is one with the Source. You can have multiple gods but the belief is that they're false in the sense they're not supreme. So it kinda still fits the stick. God in his purest would be more akin to plain-out nothingness that emanated reality.So, The Source does? He's also not Monotheistic God because he is Source.
That's allegorical and not literal hence he's basing it off of it. The Presence was literally stated by Batman to be the capital “G” who punished the Devil, created Heaven and Hell, and also is the lord of angels, and the Host which are all descriptions of God from Judeo-Christian belief. There's no such things as the “Source, New Genesis, or New Gods” because they're allegorical while the Presence is that God within the DC established framework of their creation myth.Jack Kirby already stated in his interview that he based new gods and all of his comics on Bible and Source is Christianity God + there are multiple heavens across different religions and Angles also existed in some religion like Buddhism,they are known as Nats. Ruling heaven doesn't make him Christianity God, Source has affirmation to be Christianity God but Presence isn't.
I don't know how you can still argue with this. The Source is not closer to the Christian God when the Presence in almost every way matches that description a lot better.
