I was actually never told there was a Santa Claus (I figured it out by myself); however, the same logic that made me come to that conclusion was also the same logic that 6 or so months later gave me the chilling epiphany that the bible couldn't be real either.
Was anyone else a child that 'found' atheism by themselves (as opposed to your liberal parents just raising you as one)?

Welcome. My experience different. Never was a believer despite going to CofE school. Hardly any of my peers were either . . . . . just a minute . . . Santa? . . . what? . . . are you saying ? . . . where do you think your christmas presents come from? . . . . don't be so close minded, you need to open your heart to Santa and take a leap of faith.
