Well yeah @rudra, I've seen people being the way you highlighted. Half of the mass believe and trust in God, so that they could ask for favors. The same way as you adore a rich and powerful guy expecting him to help you in your needs, exactly the same treatment is meted out to God as well.
In fact, there are very few people I've seen, who are devoted to praising God expecting nothing in return.
TBH, I am not speaking against any religion neither demeaning anyone's belief, but it's sad to say however a bitter truth that the priests nowadays endorse God as they're getting financial gain from it. Not everyone will believe this but those who personally know one, or have someone in their family's lineage who's a priest will know the inner and therefore actual character and motive behind spending their time in prayer and pujas.
It's alright that you believe in a superior power, I mean there should be someone whom you can loo up to and fear, so that you do not perform bad deeds, but doing so expecting him to solve all your problems in return isn't worth it. Afterall, you're crushing your own belief.
This is what I feel on this topic.
Regards,
