High Sparrow's death didn't make people stop, on the contrary, the man became a martyr in their eyes. Death didn't seem to be a bad fate if they were welcomed into the arms of the god they believed in.
Daenerys finally learned the disadvantages of fighting against a religious organization so old and rooted in Westeros. She even understood why Jaehaerys I had chosen peace over war. This Holy War would not be like other wars that lasted months or even years. She could imagine that the war would last hundreds of years.
A hundred years of war was not something a kingdom could easily endure, so she could imagine why Jaehaerys had chosen peace despite the assassination attempts on his own wife.
However, if it were Aenar in Jaehaerys' place, Daenerys was sure her husband would burn Old Town without any hesitation.
However, Daenerys wasn't discouraged by how long the war would go on, people's faith could last for a long time, but when the God of the Seven Faces stopped responding to believers, she wondered how long the Faith of the Seven would last.
On the one hand she had a God creating miracles and blessing the people, on the other hand there was a God who was indifferent and didn't care about humans. Faced with such a different reality, even a blind man would know which God to pray to.
So, apart from the fanatics, the war of faith had only just begun, but House Targaryen had already started to gain the upper hand. Of course, if the God of the Seven Faces uses divine power to create miracles, the war really will go on for even longer, but was that possible?
Would gods really help humans at the cost of their own existence? How many years had it been since a true miracle appeared in Westeros? In the long religion of the Faith of the Seven, not a single miracle had been recorded.
The proof is that there were no songs or even paintings that presented such miracles to the world. From this, anyone can imagine the indifference of the gods.
