''"The very existence of fakes gods suggests a real God."'' There are very many different Santa Clauses throughout the world; Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Father Frost, etc., etc. But the very existence of so many Santas does ''not'' imply that there must be a ''real'' one too! I suppose you might bring up the very real Saint Nicholas, but if you did you would be providing a naturalistic explanation for mythical variation.
