But there are definitely good arguments against the existence of god, such as, the proof of the existence of god has never been observed, similar to the existence of Santa Claus has never been proved. That does not mean that god or Santa Claus does not exist; its only that the probability of their existence is almost negligible.
I think for either to be examined you have to first define what each of those, i.e. God and Santa Claus is. Then you have to look at the origins as well as the mythology.
You can't say there is no such thing as Santa Claus and pass 2 or 3 of them on the way to the mall to pick up your kid who has been talking to another one. All you are really saying is that you don't ascribe to the common mythology.
An atheist and a theist celebrating Easter or Christmas is about the same thing.
