But obviously, there ARE people who will completely go off the deep end on this, instead of understanding the difference between THIS description above and people who celebrate it as a religious holiday, even though the VAST majority of people, especially in the USA don't even know it is religious, and there is nothing underlying the activities that would even make someone think it is religious.

Once again, Jewish Law forbids Jews adopting the religions, rituals, and holidays of other peoples. This is a matter of LAW, not personal opinion.

Regardless of whether "halloween" is religious or not, it is still chuqqat hagoyim and is still forbidden.

Although most people don't know it, Noachide Law also forbids creating new religions or holidays, so such observations as "halloween" are forbidden to non-Jews as well.

“Although most people don’t know it, Noachide Law also forbids creating new religions or holidays, so such observations as “halloween” are forbidden to non-Jews as well.”

Oh yeah? Please show us the verse that says that. From the Word of God, not from your traditions.

It would seem to me that, since those laws bind Jews and Gentiles alike, then such a prohibition on creating new holidays would also forbid the observation of Hannukah, a man-made holiday, would it not?

So is Thanksgiving Day considered chuqqat hagoyim, too?
