Regarding these atheists, if they don't believe in Christ or in God, why would they be celebrating Christmas?
First off Agnostic, secondly because for one single day of the year, people act like the people they could be,and treat each other with kindness
Maybe their doing it for the sun god, maybe theyre doing it for Kwanza,Maybe theyre doing it for Hannuka maybe their doing it for the heck of it.
But they are doing it that day
Thats something worth celebrating all on its own
