I'm bringing Santa and the Tooth Fairy back into this discussion.
Being raised Jewish I was told that Santa didn't visit us, never that he didn't exist. Maybe it would have been better if my parents told me he wasn't real; maybe I wouldn't have spent my entire childhood wishing I was a different religion, but then I probably would have ruined it for the other kids.
The tooth fairy was very real until I caught my mom. I was 9 or 10. I always questioned and my mom always said the answer was what I believed.
After a certain age it's more about the magic behind the "person". Like Disney. Those characters are real. We go to see Mickey Mouse, Tigger, Malificent, Alice, Capt. Hook, not people playing them.
It's all about what you believe.
