I think it is important to look at the "god" figures in the novel: Billy, Hoppy, and Bluthgerd. Each of the characters has a special talent that allows them to surpass, yet never truly connect with, the ordinary humans in the novel. Both Hoppy and Bluthgerd have some very real mental issues, and Billy is some bizarre mental construct that exists outside of reality. Perhaps some parallel to the Id, Ego, and Super Ego? These characters (one might be tempted to include Dangerfield in this category) serve as flesh and blood manifestations of the fear that is spread by the usage of atomic weaponry: Hoppy is a mutant, whose physical deformities are a direct result of radioactive fallout. Bluthgerd lives wholly in the past, and cannot escape the atrocities he unwittingly committed onto the world, even if they only exist in his mind (of which I am not certain). Billy is a direct result of the bombs, and is a unique form of life attempting only to see, live, and be with his sister. Power in a PKD novel, it seems, is a catch-22: If you have it, you're either doomed to repeat the mistakes of those you claimed it from, or are horribly deformed, either mentally or physically.
The regular characters are an interesting mirror to the powerful players in Dr. Bloodmoney. On one hand, they really lack the ability to influence the empowered characters, yet they are the world that the god figures so desperately seek. Stuart's and Gill's business acumen and Bonny's infidelity pale in what I would consider the "grand scheme" of things, as far as the characters lives go, but these quirks are so essential to being human, that their absence in the god figures separates them from humanity. In this way, Billy is perhaps the most human of all the god figures.
