Yeah, that's what I keep trying to point out. I don't think adults who believe in santa claus or the tooth fairy are crazy. It's extremely uncommon and I think they are highly mistaken, but they are not automatically crazy for those beliefs. I think the only difference between those beliefs and the belief in a god is social acceptance. If our society allowed people to continue with their childhood beliefs unchallenged, they might even be as common.
