I prefer to state I know god does not exist.
When it comes to Santa Clause, the magical being not the holiday concept, I am not going to state I lack belief in Santa Clause just because there is no evidence proving he does not exist. Instead, I am going to rightly, logically, reasonably, state that I know Santa Clause does not exist because there is zero evidence to support his existence.
Just replace Santa Clause with god, and it is the same thing.
