Well, I'll agree that some parents DO use Santa/God to threaten their children and/or demand good behavior.
And funny you should mention, but I am one of those kids who didn't get much from "Santa" as a child, and one year I actually got coal!
As a child matures, they learn about the "myth" of Santa, and may choose to believe that God is also a "myth," but that never happened with me.
My experience of Santa was completely controlled solely by my parents. But I experience God in everyone around me, all creation, and through the gift of grace given to me.
Oh, and btw, I'll take a velvet elvis over a velvet santa or jesus any day. ;)
