True. Atheists shouldn't celebrate Christmas just for gifts. |

Free stuff mainly. Some like to take comfort that it brings a family together and unifies them. In my case it creates arguments in who is going to be the Car in monopoly. |

85% of atheists only say they're atheist to look smart and would get on their hands and knees and beg for salvation from a higher power if they needed it |

Spoiler: The bible lied
"IT WAS A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY. Until it lost it's religiousnuss."
No, no it wasn't.
The birth of Jesus was based on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics Santa is based on Odin and Sleipnir Christmas Trees are believed to have derived from Egyptian Obelisks, though this one is debatable The feast derives from the Roman Saturnalia and Germanic Yule
It, at no point, was Christian. The only reason it's associated with Christianity nowadays is because the traditions blended in after the Christianization of Europe.
Even many Christian Scholars believe Jesus' birth was long before December. |
