Logically thinking Yes
The ancients were just human just like us remember.
I misunderstood your point, what you are saying is the ancients believed because they were ignorant of the world as WE NOW know it, yes?
But what about believers today?

But what about believers today?
They've mentally embraced the ignorance of what they have been offered by religions.

The only reason that the religions that are still in existence today, is because of their controlling power and wealth which
they've acquired from a base of supporting ignorant people.
