The Christians do, with a specific, traditional, meaning and decoration.
If the atheists don't have a holiday to celebrate this month (they don't) then what constitutes their "equal treatment" and what justifies their kludged together decoration in the capitol?
Nothing.
My wife’s nephew is a flaming Christian/Jew hating “friendly atheist” as he puts it. He abhors anything to do with Christians and Christmas but damned if he is going to turn down his Christmas bonus or the holiday off. He is such an insufferable arrogant little bastard.
We have crossed each other on facebook but in person he is a snotty version of pajama boy and quite cowardly. Passive aggressive as my wife calls him. He is the big bad atheist on facebook slaying Christians the way the Romans did but in person a total wussy.
I don’t suffer him well and go out of the way to wish him a Merry Christmas whenever I see him this time of year.
