general public sentiment would change (eg times of war) but there were practicing pagans throughout ancient rome and greece and a continual thread of people taking it seriously through to Constantine. There were prescriptions for punishments for sacrilege and such. I guarantee plenty of soldiers genuinely prayed to their gods in battle, and the priestesses in Corinth genuinely indulged their thottery in a spritual way, like any other culture.
Pretty sure modern pagans are all larpers.
