No Roman would want to give up Saturnalia or the festival of Sol Invictus etc. So Xtianity said 'Don't worry, you can keep all those 3 day weekends if you convert' so then the change was easier.
I think Atheist should come up with a similar approach. Xmas should become the Oxytocin celebration fesitval where we give gifts to loved ones. Easter could be the stearate chocolate festival, where everyone eats chocolate.
It worked for the early Xtian church, it could work for us too!
Thanks

We have a Atheist-week
March 20-26th is "A" Week for Atheists all over the world.
As Atheists Atheist-Week support, we must inform people all over the world.

Reminds me of how I used to annoy people who would wear a large cross around their neck. I used to take the opportunity to ask "hey, what's the "T" stand for"?
The looks you get are priceless!

So All Christians wearing a cross, may be called Xtians.
I think a reasonable definition for Xtians.
