Personally I don't believe in the tooth fairy, Santa, the bunny rabbit, ghosts, spirits, angels, goblins and so on.. It's all fake, he has no reason to think anything told him is real or factual.
For me to believe in God, I have to create a reason for him to exist.. so I do.
But that doesn't mean he does exist or ever did. All we have is stories that aren't actually very old, no different than Santa stories. Just fairy tales really. The question is do you believe them or not, if so... you're not an atheist.
