He never said that lol. He was a devout man who actually believed in Roman gods. What he actually said:

>Now departure from the world of men is nothing to fear, if gods exist: because they would not involve you in any harm. If they do not exist, or if they have no care for humankind, then what is life to me in a world devoid of gods, or devoid of providence? But they do exist, and they do care for humankind: and they have put it absolutely in man's power to avoid falling into the true kinds of harm. (Book II)

It's a total twist of what he actually said, in fact literally the opposite meaning.

Decotion and prayer to a god enables the individual to be become god-like through contact and inherence. A bond is formed to the god through devotion that exists as a phantasm in the devotees mind, colouring and guiding the devotees thoughts and actions. To be devout is to become more god-like.
