In the sentence, "It has been many hundreds of years since people have believed in the myths of the Greeks and Romans, yet you can see that they still echo in our minds and in our language."
Is the present perfective necessary? Is it Ok if the sentence is written as "...since people believed in ...".
If this sentence is also correct, then what's the difference between the original one and this one?
