Well, well, it’s coming up to Easter. Hooray!
However, this brings me to a point – why do atheists celebrate Christian holidays? Christmas, Easter – even Thanksgiving, if you’re American.
I don’t see the point of them celebrating it at all – after all, if it weren’t for Christianity they wouldn’t even have the holidays in the first place.
Yes, I know that they were taken over from pagan holidays, but the fact remains much and such the same: these holidays stem from belief in some deity. Were the world atheist from the beginning, there would be no holiday – especially since the word “holiday” stems from the two words “holy” and “day”. As a matter of fact, without paganism, halloween wouldn’t be here either.
So, Atheists of the world; you’ve got religion to thank for your holidays!
