Well yea of course, this would also apply to the greek mythologies as well. I quite remember(i believe the immortals movie or some other moviw) they specifically didn't want to people to stop believing in them as it affects their source of powers.

I don't believe however this applies to TES because end of the day Sheogorath and the other divines will still have powers whether or not they have cult followers or worshipers. Talos isn't a false god, it's just something Thalmor tell the lesser AD agents as a part of their end game of eradicating all man on the face of the planet to return the elves to the master race. That's really all that's going on. It's a complete lie, they know he's a real god but they're maniplating the people on the planet cause there idiot ruler(titus mede II) thought it was a great idea to sign a treaty to remove him as a 9th divine. They don't even care about the other 8.
