Unfortunately, a lot of people don't understand the difference between being a healthy skeptic and being a denier. There are people acting in bad faith who ask questions not to find answers but simply to seed doubt.
Of course, Sagan’s concern was not about people’s intelligence, but rather about scientific illiteracy, the lack of ability to critically question information, and assess evidence. My favourite quotion though by him still remains as 'I don't want to believe I want to know.'
