Hey are you still continuing the Percy Jackson at Hogwarts?

Hi!
          Even I'm Indian n I'm also in 8th grade! Wanna be friends?

I was re-reading Trials of Apollo recently and came across the part where Riordan mentioned Harpocrates, who used to be an Egyptian god but became a Greek god too because the Greeks came across his statue and began to worship him. Riordan conveys the idea that this is the power of belief. However, if people's belief can make someone a Greek god, could belief also bring down gods?
          Riordan's books are written in modern times, when of the almost eight billion people in the world, the majority likely does not believe in the Greek gods. Therefore, in Riordan's books, Greek mythological beings (including gods, monsters, primordials, etc) should be exceptionally weakened.
          If I was to write a book where Greek mythology is real (similar to Riordan's books, but not a fanfic) could I create an excuse so that the Greek gods are not affected (in other words, at normal power)? If so, can you guys help me in creating one? Thanks!
          
          Here is the passage from Riordan's books: "...when Alexander the Great invaded Egypt, the Greeks found all these statues of [Harpocrates] and didn’t know what to make of him. He was usually depicted with his finger to his lips.” I demonstrated.
          “Like be quiet,” Meg said.
          “That’s exactly what the Greeks thought. The gesture had nothing to do with 'shh.' It symbolized the hieroglyph for 'child.' Nevertheless, the Greeks decided he must be the god of silence and secrets. They changed his name to Harpocrates. They built some shrines, started worshipping him, and boom, he’s a Greek-Egyptian hybrid god.”
          Meg snorted. “It can’t be that easy to make a new god.”
          “Never underestimate the power of thousands of human minds all believing the same thing. They can remake reality. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.”
