Correct me if I wrong, but it seems that Christians try to steal other holiday events as their own.
For example
-Easter is actually a Pagan holiday which celebrate one of it's goddesses, it was stolen into Christianity to encourage people to converting.
-Christmas was originally not a Christian holiday, from what I've heard, Christians took it from the Pagans "again" and made it into their own. I've also heard from other people it had something to do with the Winter Solistice/Yule. It pisses me straight off when people say why do non-christians celebrate christmas when they were the one who actually stole it from another religion.
-Valentine's Day... again, stolen from the roman people.
Heck, they probably stole half the calender and added Jesus in most of them.
They might even try and change independence day into a christian holiday.
