Why is it weird? It requires an open and trustful way of thinking. The same that lets me believe in global warming. I just think the outcome of subcribing to that ideology has good outcomes for me and my family, and I accept there are events beyond my reach and understanding, and that I cannot do much about it.
Because Occam's razor is clear. I successfully grow flowers on my balcony and my verification and peer review of temperature is not alarming. It's hard to make a living as a scientist, and journals need sensationalism, so of course people in their 30s+ would show me numbers that fit the agenda. From logical thinking the deduction is there is no global warming, but I do believe there is in some parts of the world, and we'd best do something about it.
Same thing goes for what ancient civilisations believed within the concept of their lifestyles.

Much of the bible is a mix of history inspired folk tales, political propaganda, morality tales, and self-help advice from various eras.
