That's OK, but celebrate Solstice, Yule, The Great Nothingness, whatever, just don't say you're celebrating Christmas--us Christians will take care of that.

I think it's fair to say that by the early 21st Century a large part of the Christmas celebration has become secular. To be sure many people (to varying degrees) celebrate it as a religious occasion, but in popular culture I believe that Christmas' non-religious aspects have partially overtaken the religious aspects.

That being the case, I will continue to celebrate Christmas in spite of being an unbeliever. Just don't expect to see me in church... :-)

I wish the liberal atheists were like you—not a believer but not one to want to spoil it for those who do believe.

Liberals are hatetheists—they not only don't believe but want to exterminate the public expressions of those who do.

I’m with you. As an atheist who enjoys Christmas, I want everyone to have a good time, regardless of religious persuasion.
