Since there's no indication that such power can be stored for bad times (or the devil could survive well after humanity ceased to believe in evil), there is a maximum available at any given moment. Given that the Devil, Ganesha, and the old gods in the service of Satan seem to obey classical motifs in the use of their power, it seems likely that the power provided by worshipers can only be used in the ways that those worshipers envision. Ergo a god with little belief to back him remains weak, no matter what his (few) followers believe; he lacks the power reserve to be anything else. A god with many believers who believe that he's weak has plenty of potential power - and presumably would be hard to get rid of - but would apparently be restrained in how he could use those powers to the motifs his followers believe in. There's not enough information to try to make a case as to whether or not they'd be weak even within the limits of the motif, but it does seem reasonably likely.

Also, there is likely a threshold or requirement of belief to reach before it comes into fruition, much like a few drops of water may smudge a paper, but a downpour will rend it to wet sticky bits. Much like Laz will become if his brain doesn't kick into overdrive. While a few might believe in a omnipotent God, his scope of power will be limited geographically/dimensionally.
