It is because of the love of modern mythology[1] in US culture. Starting from the religion, ending in the love of superheroes. You cannot change current generations, they are too ignorant for that. But you can start work with schoolchildren, promoting critical thinking instead, in the style of Less Wrong[2] or Rational Wiki[3] projects. THAT will change people, at least most of them.
P.S. Yes, I am aware there a lot of biases and illogical elements[4] in the Less Wrong community as well, but it is still a step forward from the current state of affairs.
