A LOT of people worship gods, even fervently, and they have no concrete proof of their existence, or that their prayers are heard by anyone. In the FR people worship gods mostly because those gods have a meaning to them: those entites hear their prayers, can gift them with blessings and favor, or can punish them. In certain cases, it goes even further: some individuals, even lay worshipers, identify themselves and feel strongly about the cause of the deity that they worship, and they dedicate their time, or part of it, to such cause because they believe in it.Plenty of reasons to worship the gods, without the threat of oblivion for those who don't. Besides, I don't think that your common farmer would even be aware of such a threat and of the existence of the Wall, yet they continue to pray to the gods, and that's because they desire their favor and protection.On a side note, one could even argue that living according certain principles, or working for a certain goal that is shared by a deity, could be seen as a form of worship capable of ''feeding'' said deity. Even if no formal worship is actually practiced.</blockquote>
