[There's still believes, like Kyrie. People who can't deal without the idea that there's a higher power looking out for them -- as if even Sparda would give a shit about them. No offense, gramps, but seems to Nero he didn't even care about his family long enough to stick around to this day.]
Plenty of the cardinals agreed with him. They had a whole ceremony for it. Turning into demons. They'd been testing it for years on people getting possessed. [And really, there's no further explanation needed for why Nero won't ever trust any religious group. There's always going to be people using it for power, because it's the perfect way to take power.]
I don't see why I should. Every time they pop up, they do the exact shit demons do. And I know plenty of demons trying to become gods. [Nero leans over, his arms on his knees, staring Steve down.] Think about it. Have you heard or seen of a single one of these gods coming out of nowhere to save someone? No. Maybe they'll grant their favors. Maybe they'll give you a hint, or a bit of pittance in power. But they never step in. Even when it's the other gods that are fucking it up for everybody. Why is it they can directly come in to kill people, but they never show up to save anyone? What about all the people who drowned in the pit? The gods sure as hell helped keep us in there. But not a single one helped save people.
It's because they're all the same, just different levels of interference with us. You know that saying, a rotten apple ruins the bunch? That's them. They don't save us because they aren't like us. They never will be.
