it's always so funny, when people try to explain that Christ mass is not a Christian thing.
just because it has influences from cultures it engulfed it doesn't mean that the holiday meant to celebrate Christ isnt Christian.
Whoa you got me by ignoring every point ๐คก
I call bullshit on atheists celebrating Christmas.
If you celebrate it you're Christian, feel free to call yourself cultural Christian or atheist Christian. but celebrating Christmas is a Christian thing.
I don't believe in God and still celebrate my Jewish holidays, and I call myself an atheist jew, a common thing in Judaism.
I mean... the Japanese who as a nation are mostly non-Christian and don't know much about it beyond pop culture, celebrate Christmas. I mean it's a couple's holiday there, but they do all the superficial things around it. Plenty of non-Christians celebrate Christmas the way that many people celebrate Halloween. It's just a fun little tradition cooped because a dominant culture enjoys it and doesn't care too much if you don't adhere to the heart, but just the ritual of it.
There are plenty of people who don't know the first thing about what Christmas actually is that celebrate it.
