Divine command theories of morality are often called "theological subjectivism". That's another example of a universal but subjective theory. But, say, Thomist moral theory is objectivist (assuming I understand it right).

THat's funny, the wikipedia article listed 'most religiously based moral theories' as examples of moral realism.

Most religiously based moral theories aren't divine command theory, as far as I know.
