I too think that God is the greatest antagonist in LoS universe.

The way i see it,gods in LoS universe have power over it based on the amount of belief and worshiping that is directed to them.

If many people collectively believe that a God exist with specific attributes, he will exist in that manner.

If more people do that,he gains more power over the universe.

Which is probably why the Old Gods are greatly weakened by the time Gabriel encounters them (nobody worships them).

Also,notice what Zobek says about the third acolyte in LoS2 :

"This acolyte commands ultimate possession and control over others.

Religious power."

Coupled with the fact that Satan [ S-P-O-I-L-E-R ] used an enslaved Old God to destroy the universe and [ S-P-O-I-L-E-R] was at the height of his power when his acolytes reigned, while constantly trying to receive lordship over the universe, probably means that belief 'spawns' and empowers potential gods.

(Think of it like how the Chaos Gods were created in the Warhammer 40k franchise)

Getting back to the topic,God is probably the most flawed (?) character in the LoS series, because he's completely apathetic over the event of the LoS series.

Dracula and Alucard,are probably the 'wild cards' of this game.

Because they both have godlike powers,yet they were originally mortal humans who gained colossal amounts of power by slaying old gods and immortality (via vampirehood).
