No, far as I understand, he ain't - "just" a mortal empowered by one. Check out the official CoH comic. Issues 1-4 of the current run go a little into the whole God thing.
There's a fair bit of potential for personality clash, though, between Doug and Statesman. The thing is, as portrayed, Statesman really isn't a very nice guy - compared to say, Captain America and Superman, the characters he's often compared to. Especially in the CoH comics, he's portrayed as fairly uptight and possibly unreasonable. Of course, there's reasons for that - the man truly does feel the weight of responsibility, he's lived for so long, seen so many people die around him, his morality is still stuck in the 1930s...lots of reasons. But the fact remains, he's very much a patriarch-type figure, for good or ill.
