Would it be correct to extend it to “ People do not believe in religion, they believe in the prophet”?

To an extent. The idea is that most people don't follow an ideal directly; they follow people who follow an ideal.

At any point of time there are competing ideologues. On what basis do people decide to put their money on a specific ideologue?

Why is that the belief persists for a long time, over generations, even after the ideologue has died and the charisma a faded memory?

Charisma doesn't always die with the charismatic. Sometimes it is amplified by death, creating legend.
