I teach Santa, the Tooth Fairy (a variety of fairies, actually), and so forth. I tell my kids there are some things they believe are real that aren't actually real -- and they'll have to figure out which ones. This month, my eldest built a leprechaun trap. I triggered the trap and left behind a scrap of green cloth. She surprised me by finding an extra clue, a single green thread I apparently dropped in her doorway. The only imaginary beings I don't teach as real are gods.
Are they technically lies? Sure. Are they part of a fun imaginary play world I foster for my kids that later becomes a teachable lesson? You bet.
A lesson behind Santa Claus is that it's not just Mom and Dad who are Santa Claus. You are Santa Claus, too. We all giving gifts, not Santa. The same principle is true for religious people. When they pray to a god, when they have a conversation with their god, they are really talking to themselves.
