Depends on your definition of god.
I say cut off their head. Nothing survives without a head, not even a god.
I was going to reference some Pratchett, and now I can reference more.
On the subject of vampires it was said ' you need to cut off the head and plunge a wooden stake thru the heart. Of course, this has the bonus that it works on everyone else.'
I know a couple of people have covered it, but I think Discworld has more to say about it than most , and makes a lot of sense.
As for the God thing, In Discworld, they're fueled by believers, and in 'Small Gods' the great god Om has fallen out of favour over the centuries, and has been left with just one, one more than many who are left as just ethereal memories floating around hoping someone may believe again. One believer does not not fuel much in the way of godly powers.
The interesting part of the book is that the religion of Om is the biggest on the disc, yet Om himself knows only one person ACTUALLY believes, everyone else is just following the religion, and leaders. After all, how many people tick 'Catholic' on surveys, yet haven't seen the inside of a church in ten years?
Looking at humanity over the years, maybe more people believe in this than expected, there's certainly been a lot of effort put into killing off the believers of other gods, maybe the hope they can wipe out all challengers.
I thoroughly recommend getting hold of it, book, audio book, whatever, remember libraries are free, for a few months yet, in the UK
