I am an Atheist, but people who do not let their kids believe in Santa Claus are advanced retards. I doubt these people have the legitimate ability in other areas to make their kids not believe other overtly false things, but are actually much worse.
Question #1: Do you have any rationale for your predictions, claims, and accusations? I see no corroborating evidence in your post.
Question #2: Why did you address the non-question of “let[ting] their kids believe in Santa”? The question was “How should the topic of Santa be addressed?” Kids aren’t born already believing in Santa any more than they’re born believing in luminiferous aether. If your intended point was “kids who want to believe in Santa should not be dissuaded”, fine, but that’s expressing an intention to believe. If what you meant is “parents shouldn’t say anything to their kids about Santa, and let the kids go along with society”, or perhaps “parents should play along with society, and tell their children the Santa myths as though they’re true”, you failed to make either a clear or convincing argument.
