I've long held the theory that Jewish kids, at least in the West, are raised to be more skeptical in general because their parents have to debunk Santa early on.

"Why doesn't Santa Claus bring me presents?"

"Because there is no Santa Claus, but don't tell your friends."

My younger son essentially never believed in the Tooth Fairy (though he happily accepted the money).
