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.

I think that the flaming and such is because of the atheists who are trying to remove all religious symbols of the holiday, and those trying to remove under God from the pledge. There are many, that I have spoken to, who do not care if there is a nativity scene of Christmas Caroling. This is another case of a few outspoken activists causing trouble for the rest. You have the right not to believe just as others have the right to believe in what ever religion they worship.

They are either all false or one of them is true.
