The reason is because the miracles he made, which were constant in the past, have not existed for many a millenia. Now people take coincidences as them, or something that works in their many, many, MANY preferences. We need a hardcore miracle that defies logic and reasoning, like how Jesus healed the blind or turned water into wine. Bring that back, at least ONCE, and I think more people would believe.
God gave us Free Will. We are not slaves, as Satan would have us be. So we can choose whether to follow Good or Evil. Whether to admire beauty or revel in depravity. We can choose to have Faith or reject it. WE can claim to be our own God or recognize God as Supreme.
I choose Faith and I choose God. I choose light over darkness, good over evil.
The miracles are endless. The beauty of your new born child or your wife as you age together. The joy of a child signing and the sublime beauty of a Mozart. The truth of 2+2=4 and the power of discerned truth of Quantum Mechanics.
I’m reminded of a conversation I once had with a religious co-worker, who insisted that because I’m an atheist, I couldn’t be a moral person or have a true sense of right and wrong. Of course she never met my parents, who did indeed instill those things in me, lack of faith notwithstanding. Needless to say, this was a one-time conversation, once we made our respective points of view known.
As for the Rev portrayed here, he’s entitled to his beliefs and his point of view, even if I personally feel that he has a somewhat narrow-minded perspective. I can admire the beauty of nature, marvel at having watched both my children come into the world, and look in awe at the grandeur of the universe — all without ascribing any supernatural or other-worldly glory to the whole business

Or you can become educated and marvel at everything in the universe, from quarks and neutrinos to galaxies and black holes.

I love that song. I have the version with Dolly Parton singing the chorus on my Spotify list.
