It's "understand" or "accept", not "believe in". Do you "believe in" gravity?
It's because in the states there's a huge christian anti-science lobby.

There's a much stronger hold by the "Christian" lobby in America. Hence, they influence laws that are performed; evolution is accepted in Europe because such lobbies do not influence governments. Such lobbies also explain why the US is so backwards in medical research compared to other nations.

The United States has a surfeit of freedoms, including the freedom to be ignorant. Some groups abuse this right.

Well when you consider that places such as France and England fostered enlightenment and Freemasonry etc is it such a surprise, at least America has held out longer.

Americans are still holding on to medieval beliefs. Little by little superstitions are disappearing. Maybe some day - - - -
