Remember the old phrase “Give credit where credit is due”? Celebrating Christmas without a belief in the Savior is what I would call “eating the seed corn.” There is nothing contributed to the next generation. To continue Christmas, you have believe in the real meaning of Christmas, otherwise it will become a silly secular annual event used by commercial interests and eventually die out.

Perhaps you are bothered by the idea of atheists who are happy and contented at this time of year??

I don't "rage" at Christmas in the slightest, nor do I feel in the least upset that all these beautiful traditions are, at the core, based upon an event in which I do not believe.
