We all probably believed in Santa once.
When I heard a more convincing explanation of where the christmas presents were coming from, I left the old "Santa did it" theory behind.
As for 'knowing inside'... Regardless of what the outside (Religion)says
Its the similarly authorative 'knowing' otherwise* that lead me to reject religion.
When I looked at the many, many, many absurd notions, fallacies, contradictions in them, and found WAY better explanations for how the universe works since in science, I came to my own conclusion that I was right in my suspicions.
And what a coincidence, Religious institutions and organisations opposed scientific discovery right from the get go.
Look up Ptolemy, Galileo, church on Google. 🙂
Look up "Creationist history/science taught in schools"
* I think you mean SUSPECT not "know".
