That is mainly proof for the player, not the race as a whole. Only the blades alive during that era know of that mission, same with the knights of the nine. And if we pray to a god in real life, than we feel like we have become stronger in faith and what our God wants us to be strong in. Same applies to the races of Tamriel except to believe in the blessing, once must pray at a shrine to Talos, something Thalmor don't do.
