Though I don't think "super-powerful beings exist, it makes sense to worship them" is a logical argument. The gods in fantasy books aren't generally paragons (existing as they do in pantheons that mimic real-life polytheism to an extent), so why worship them? Because they'll destroy you otherwise?
To quote the great PTerry, in Feet of Clay, the argument from fear is not logical.
