Bel and Nebo were the main gods of Babylon, but we don't hear much about them anymore. Babylon was conquered by the Medes and Persians and the idols of Bel and Nebo were taken away as plunder - unceremoniously tied onto the backs of the beasts of burden.
Bel and Nebo needed to be carried - because they could not move on their own. But the true God - the LORD of Israel - did not look to his people to carry him. He carries his people himself.
False religions teach some form of salvation by human works. The Bible teaches salvation by the grace of God offered freely to all who will believe.
