Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. It makes zero sense for atheists to commemorate the birth of someone who ' doesn't exist '.

And by celebrating I mean, of course, buying and receiving gifts, refusal to work, giving cards, proclaiming Christmas statement toward others such as happy Christmas which could be shunned without causing offence to others.


Don't get me wrong, I am not stating that a person should do anything that offends non atheist family members or friends, like refusal to eat a Christmas dinner specifically cooked for you but rather that Christmas Day for Atheists should be seen completely as any other day of the year without acknowledgment or celebration as that is hypocrisy.

You mean the Culture You Christian Stole or should i say borrowed (sorry they didn't ask) from pagans? And then changed it concept? And then called it Christimas?

That's like asking if Nigeria should celebrate America's independence.

This is a very beautiful Sunday. Receive sense in Jesus name.

Does this Change the Fact that you stole A culture? And please what is beautiful about the Sunday that doesn't apply to every other days of the week?

Lol
Since the earliest days of Christianity, the customs that Christians use to celebrate Christmas (and Easter) have been altered to attract non-Christians to the religion. Many pagan rituals were incorporated into Christmas festivities as a way to appease ancient converts who were reluctant to discard their old traditions, or perhaps to appease the old gods who might get angry if their customs are abandoned. Pagan rituals like Saturnalia, the winter solstice, sole invictus and yule
Read up on your religion please
The Christmas tree is obviously a pagan symbol
Since the date of Christs' birth is unknown the holiday has been overshadowed by pagan concepts

most of them know nothing about thier religion. when I see churches with Christmas trees it makes me laugh
Probably why JWs reject the holiday completely

The beauty of atheism... We do anything we like as long as it makes us and people around us happy.
