An insecure, needy, narcissistic deity is inferior. The sort of deity which emotional children would conjure is inferior. There has to be some sort of quid pro quo in order for them to interface with him/her. the Deity cannot just do good on his own w/o expectation. You'd have to be a giving person to construct a deity that way.. non giving or grudge based ppl.. make inferior deities.
You kiss butt.. he makes rain. Your crops grow. or he doesn't zap you with thunder. or he answers every question about the world you don't understand as a non critical thinker.
