I recommend reading Small Gods by (Sir) Terry Pratchett, if you haven't already. It explores that very point; belief generates gods. The gods expand in power and importance at a rate proportional to the amount of belief in them. If a god loses popularity, less and less people believe in it and so the god dissipates, getting smaller and smaller, finally evaporating altogether to join the ever-increasing ranks of forgotten gods. Plus it's incredibly funny.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
