First, we live in a world where people deny COVID, the holocaust, landing on the moon, the earth being round. And not just fringe lunatic groups, a lot of people believe these things. So no, people thinking the Jedi were fake is not weird or far fetched.
Second, the universe is a big place. 99.999% of all inhabitants of the SW universe never saw a Jedi, and if they did, they most certainly did not see them use the force. And even those extremely small few who saw them use the force did not believe it was real. They thought they were just bureaucrats in lame robes who pretended they had magic powers.
