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.

Thank you. I don't believe in any form of religion. I actually despise organized religion, but I don't go out of my way to bother anyone. I don't mind having a discussion about religion, but nothing heated. I don't believe that makes good conversation or friends.

The idea of nothing day is ludicrous. We don't need holidays for everyone. It's like the plethora of awards shows now, so everyone can win every category. I wish religious people would stop trying to impose their beliefs on me, and I'll try to stop other atheist from doing the same. Because in the end, how do we know what is the one true religion. Is it Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, or (insert your religion here). I figure the above sentence will cause some to send heated replies, but it's meant to be for an enlightened discussion, not to start a flame war where everyone attacks me.

To summarize, nothing day shouldn't exist. For atheist, Christmas day is a national holiday in Canada, you have to take it off, or get paid a shit load more for showing up. So no choice there. Plus, Christmas has lost most of its original meaning and has become a commercialized day which businesses definitely enjoy.

They are not atheists. They are Christian haters who just won't admit it publicly.
