[quote=Anonymous][quote]All adults have given up most, if not all, of their supernatural beliefs.   They no longer believe in fairies or elves or Santa Claus.  [/quote]

Yes, and with good reason.  The same reason that will hopefully lead them to giving up all supernatural beliefs.

[quote]Some  still believe in God, in part because they don't think of him the same way they think of fairies and Santa, whom they stopped believing in as children.[/quote]

This is where logical discussion, evaluation, and application of skepticism can change that difference, which I believe is culturally enforced.

[quote]Plus God promises  something fairies don't -- everlasting life.   The catch is, you don't know whether of not it's real until after you're dead.[/quote]

That's not really a catch, Pascal's wager is a very flawed proposition.  There's very little reason to believe there is anything supernatural, let alone a personal and benevolent deity.  Once you release the need to apply things about the universe we don't understand or know to the supernatural it becomes much easier to release belief in it.
