The Christmas holiday was created to turn the winter solstice into a christian holy day for christians, and was created in order to give the winter solstice holiday a special meaning for them. For christians it has always been a celebration of Christ's birth. No christians are celebrating Christmas to honor it's pagan roots. It doesn't matter a whit to me what the pagans celebrated on that date. When you celebrate Christmas are you honoring a pagan belief?
When I as an Atheist celebrate christmas, it's to honor the social convention. I'm not honoring a pagan belief, nor any kind of "Belief". And quite frankly, christmas in its current state really isn't about christ, christianity or any of the above.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
