"God" seems to designate a couple of unrelated things:
1) The Symphony as a whole,
2) A literal deus ex machina that intervenes in Archangelic politics,
3) A poetic stand-in for the same things people use it as a poetic stand-in IRL, at least when they don't mean anything in particular by it.
I think the setting is stronger if you drop the whole God thing, frankly.

I liked the spin Demon: the Fallen gave it - Babel was a project by the rebel angels to nurture and build up a human civilization based on their values, and it was ultimately smashed by the Host for that reason. IMC, liberal democratic capitalism is Babel 2.0.
