Family is always asking me to come to religious celebrations

@Gawdzilla Sama Gotcha, I should clarify, it's just a get together, I wouldn't go to a church or anything.

@arewethereyet I gotcha, that sounds chill, with no religious pressure. I'm not sure if your familiar with the former Tom Flynn? He was the publisher of 'Free Inquiry' an atheist magazine through the Center for Inquiry. He always believed to be more of a firm atheist, we shouldn't like participate in 'religious holidays' as it gives the holiday even more strength kind of thing. I did like jis idea of getting those out of society, but it is hard.

No, nothing else religious, just kind of the celebration of it, for me it's more against my principles. I would prefer maybe the 4th of July more, Idk, I still have time to decide.

I'm just not that militant...probably because other than going through the motions of being Catholic, our family wasn't terribly religious.  They were just days most people are off work/school and everyone could get together.

Hope you work out something that feels right for you.
