Isn't atheism a religious belief in nothing?

Atheists already have a holiday.

April 1.

Shalom.

Aethiests are hypocrites and cannot be taken seriously.

I'll take them seriously the day all of them make sure to work on Christmas Day.

Actually they do believe in something...they believe in waking up everyday and trying their damnedest to disrupt the lives of happy, faithful folks.

Of course, one of the first "carols" for this new holiday could be, none other than:

"Nothing From Nothing" - By Billy Preston

I've encountered atheists that wanted to disrupt the faithful people's holidays. I have also had atheists who do not care one way or another what anyone else chooses to believe. The ones who are indifferent to others customs do not bother me, it is too bad the rest can't follow suit.

Nothing Day is everyday for people who know they are too dumb to believe in anything that would make them better.

Their carol (revised from Peggy Lee's song):
SPOKEN:
I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself,

SUNG:
That's all that there is, That's all that there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
That's all that there is

Yes. Another way to look at it is their 'religion' is based on hatred of other religions especially Christians.

I am getting so fed up with these people trying to deny us our Christmas that we ought to just make them work the Christmas holiday. If they don't want to "do Christmas", then they shouldn't get the time off. Make them go to work!

Love it! Wish I'd had this in hand when I not-so-politely turned down an invitation to a "holiday" party, telling the obnoxious hostess I saw nothing to celebrate in vauge and miscellaneous holidays.

Atheism is not based on hatred of other religions especially Christians. That some may feel that way doesn't change that fact.

It's kind of silly to use the extreme to paint the middle.

Perhaps you should lobby to have the religious holiday removed from the federal holiday list.

And please, can someone tell me, without venom or flames, how having the kid at the mall, when taking your money, saying "happy holidays" in any way denies anyone their Christmas holiday.
