Depending on the religion, they might believe that if they are devout enough, God will always favour them. If he doesn't, then that's a failure on their part.

Alternatively, they believe the gods are fickle chess players, which makes it doubly important to persuade them to care about you.

Sure, that makes the gods pretty shitty, but we are where we are, and they are more likely to get you through the battle if you a nice to them, than if you tell them they don't deserve your respect.

Classical mythologies were way better about this. They didnt need to jump through mental hoops to explain how they somehow didnt prove themselves worthy of Gods favor. Classical gods were intentionally written to be fallible characters who usually did not give a fuck.
