Maybe because magical thinking, based entirely on early childhood brainwashing and cultural conditioning and peer-pressure, has no place here.
If I ask you whether you believe in Jesus, you'll probably say no. Do you know that he is a historical figure? Traditional Catholicism understands "faith" as a purely rational approach, not an emotional one. You examine certain issues and rationally come to a conclusion about whether they are convincing to you or not.
I simply belong to the group that is convinced of the truth of Catholicism. Most people today do not. However, most people do not approach this matter objectively but rather emotionally.
I'd maybe add that religions also shift over time.
Catholics are also being swayed by the Evangelicals.
You are explaining kind of a Jesuit view of analysis, and older view of thought.
I'm not talking about the old persecutions the Church did. But after the enlightenment up to last 100 years, Catholics used to be supporters of Science, logic and reason. They were strongly in support of Religion and Science existing separately. Religion is about faith, it is beyond science, and you shouldn't mix them.
But more recently in the US, all Christian churches have started to be a bit radicalized by the Evangelicals.
So your view might be in minority.
