They do all around world. Santa and tooth fairy are simply examples that people are familiar with thats why they are used. They all belong in the same category of "magical thinking"
There are 1000's of gods and imaginary beings take your pick, zeus, anubis, jesus, thor, santa, haua, puana, spiderman, eshu, obatala, flying spaghetti monster, freya etc etc...
Beyond absurdity you say?

You don't believe in 1000's of gods and magical entities. I am like you I also dont believe in them and I sleep just fine, they have no effect on my life because they don't exist.
I have a solution: Just add one more to the list. I promise you won't know the difference. You can still be a good person and function without having an imaginary dad watching over you.
when you can arbitrability dismiss all God /god(s) you are actually making a godhood claim and thats a mighty hubris
but whats amusing about it is we each have 1 God/god. so we are just arguing on the correct God/god.
which God/god best explains everything?
the Creator God?
or
addones godhood?
