Oddly, yes.
The theme of religion is to be good and be granted eternal life.
Eternal life after death has long been a want of man. Pharohs, Romans, Chinese hell even cave men expected to live after death.
Now, with Christianity we have the immortal soul and you go to a good place or a bad place. You devote your life and everything you do to go to a good place you know in your heart exists.
From the outside looking in, Santa is a more believable story.
In fact Santa led me to question religion and give up on it.

There is a not-small contingent of atheists who do Santa with their children specifically for this reason, it is one of the first steps American children take towards skeptical inquiry and teaches them not to always trust authority or tradition.
