do i believe what? that Santa Claus doesn't exist or that Jesus is a crock of shit?
children should be believe in anything - monsters under the bed, imaginary friends, Santa, God - it's adults who believe in fairy tales that are the danger.
and yes of course I know that Santa Claus is based on a real person but the version we know, the red suit, the North Pole, elves, reindeer sleigh - commercial artists working for advertising agencies dreamed that up.
