Because Christianity is the reigning religion and paganism is hardly even taken seriously these days. Also, Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of Rome are said to have been born to their mother Silvia without a mortal father. Nobody will believe that but they'll believe that Jesus was born to Mary with no mortal father. Why? Because Christianity and monotheism in general are the 'in thing'. People are sheep, ready to be shepherded by whatever reigning idea that prods them in the back.
