Atheists, Do You Celebrate Christmas?

bigpapa2284 · 2010-01-10 09:49:27

I'm Catholic and i have nothing against atheists. I don't post here much but i do view forums very often and i see all of the atheists forums. I think it is not right to be atheists and celebrate Christmas. If you atheists thats fine but its kind of hypocritical to celebrate Christmas. Thoughts?

I guess I understand, but it's still a little odd saying a prayer to god when you don't believe in a god. It kind of defeats the purpose, but again, I guess I understand.

It's traditional. I'm sure many of the things people do around the world due to tradition that they don't believe in is done specifically to honour their past.

I'm not atheist, but I feel your question is a bit ignorant for Christmas is hardly a religious holiday anymore for most. My parents have never celebrated it in a religious way whatsoever, it's more of a time for family, friends, and well...gifts. Haha.
