The gods -choose- to remain inactive in the general day to day lives of mortals. Do not mistake that complacency as inability. As Weebs said, they have many tools, their favorite being the well behaved followers.
If you accept a god in to your life enough to devote your ways to their concepts you invite consequence when your actions do not represent that. Period. If you don't want the hassle, don't invite them in. It is simply more immediate in the long term for those who use the blessings of the gods. Those who do not use the blessings of the gods can find themselves in a pickle just as easily, just that they have more wiggle room.
So your statement of "The most they can do is not grant spells that they're already not granting, No mortal will ever speak to, meet or dance with their god, so it stands to reason that any wrath beyond refusal of spells is forbidden as well," is severely incorrect. In fact some mortals have met a god(s).
