neil gaiman commented on this after writing American Gods (wherein this is a main plot point). apparently he had pagans come up to him and admonish him for not knowing of the robust modern day heathen community.
You know those "Modern god pantheon" stories that like to revolve around the, "Our believers have waned and so has our power," thing?
Thinking about that today, and. Something like 7% of all humans who have ever lived are alive today. The world's population today absolutely absurdly higher than anything those ancient populations possibly could have conceived it being.
And thanks to technology and communication and the "shrinking" of the world, more people have probably heard the names of many of those gods then ever worshiped them before. And many of those gods actually do have followers and worshippers today. Yes, people do worship and believe in Norse gods and Greek gods and etc.
I can't fathom how many smaller gods must have been forgotten about entirely. But the fact is that we remember so many of them.
What I'm saying is, modern gods where they have more power than they could have ever fathomed because their believers are just statistically so much higher and so many more people know their name.

atlas' flesh has melded with the sky like the crew of davy jones fuses into the ship. atlas as a mountain. atlas as a pillar of fire. atlas as a serpent. atlas as the clouds. atlas as the atmosphere. the ozone layer. atlas weeping blood and frothing mouthed.
there's not enough interpretive art of atlas imho. people draw him as a buff guy holding a globe. where's the imagination. where's the weird shit.

My take on the walrus knocking on your door versus a fairy knocking on your door thing is that I don't believe in magic or fairies whatsoever and I'd still be more surprised by the walrus. A fairy knocking on my door means I've made one bad assumption about how the world works; a walrus knocking on my door – in Saskatchewan, in February – means I'm wrong about a great many things.
