Santa syndrome is a psychological syndrome in which affected individuals to ultimately accept atheism. Most individuals discover or are told that the supernatural aspects associated with the Christian tradition of Santa Claus, such as him riding a sleigh led by reindeer and giving all good children around the world Christmas presents, are legend and are simply practiced in order to enrich the experience of celebrating the holy day. However, individuals with Santa syndrome are often abnormally bitter about this finding and as a result, move further to reject the existence of God, which has been firmly established in the Five Ways, Kalam Cosmological Argument, etc.
The militant atheist came to deny the existence of God after suffering from Santa Syndrome in his/her youth.

Being brought up to believe in a religion by parents/family as a young child, the same way they teach you to believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. The child is too naive to have personal opinions at such a young age and believes what they are told. This can wear off with age (like with Santa Claus, etc.) but usually sticks as religion is too controversial to be brought up as ‘not true’ in society.

The condition of being a woman with normal sized head, arms, and legs but with a ginormous belly like Santa.
That girl over there is suffering from Lady Santa Syndrome. She has a normal head, legs, and arms but her belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly.
