There were millions of planets in the Republic, and only about 10k Jedi at any one time. The vast majority of people would never have seen one. The vast majority of planets would probably go generations between having one visit. It is entirely believable that most wouldn't think that Jedi were real.

You'd think a guy wouldn't get into Vader's inner Death Star circle if he didn't believe in such things.

Sycophants and idiots are exactly who end up in leadership in dictatorships. Admiral Motti probably believed all the propaganda.

Part of the impact of that scene is that up to that point, the Death Star was not under Vader's command, but he kind of comes in there and starts bossing everyone around anyway.
