Even though Jung later regretted the inevitable misunderstanding which would result from this answer, it couldn’t be more true then, as well as now, and always.
Indeed, why should you believe in something you already know to be true, and if you know, what’s the need for belief?
Belief is based on a lack of knowledge. Little children know God intuitively but only a few preserve it into their adulthood.
As we grow up, we gradually move from domain of the heart into domain of the mind. The nature of mind is such that it is easily tricked. The nature of heart is direct knowledge.
The world around imposes dogmatic restrains which confuse and misdirect our mind, while within us the spiritual heart remains pure.
Isn’t it why “logical thinking” is often valued higher than feeling? When school and society want to shape you after their image and likeness, they do it through the mind.
Believing in the Savior may seems the way to cope but is it really necessary when you’re rooted in the inner knowledge of the Heart?
The Savior is always there. Just look within.
