It's ingrained into their heads by their parents and grandparents which makes it harder to let go.
It's easier to let go of Santa when you have every 25th to prove it, but how do you disprove all those stories which supposedly happened before the time of man?
I'm pretty much an atheist myself, but did not grow up as one. However, looking at the pattern in which people are able to exaggerate and the simple theory of Chinese Whispers which can change a simple story to something from a fairytale.....it allowed me to gradually let go. But many out there don't want to let go simply because reality is just too frightening - you are alone and it's what you make out of life, none else is responsible or watching over you.
Oh yeah and in this certain 'religion' when the things you are taught is just nuts to start with (interpreted terribly from the so called books), makes you a dangerous individual when you become an adult....and unfortunately the world is having to deal with these adults today.
