Not necessarily. It could depend on the worship attributed to a god and what they represented. For example, a god of death would be one that not everyone outwardly worships, but who people would make a quiet offering or quietly respects. Conversely a sun god could be a prominent god in a pantheon due to the worship of farmers, but not so much by those who live in cities.
The two gods might be on an equal footing, one because of the fervent nature of their worshippers, the other because, well, you might not like the god of death, but everyone is going to meet them one day, so its good to be cordial at least.
Well this isn't intriguing and in no way makes me the slightest bit suspicious.
