Ok, I like this video and it makes a lot of valid points. But, the issue here is the parents of children in America. My children have very limited TV access and what they do watch is commercial free. For this reason, they are not exposed to all of this insane marketing. But, even for parents that do allow their children to watch ads on TV, still, it's up to a parent to say NO and not purchase items just because a child asks for it.
What in the hell does this video have to do with ATHEISM or Secularism???? It has to do with poor parenting and overspending. And those qualities cross all religious backgrounds.
And did you just notice we celebrated Christmas? Billions of dollars were spent somehow, for some reason, in the name of Christmas. I don't know too many Atheists that went out and purchased an "atheist gift" for their family but Christians all over the world purchased "Christmas gifts." If anything, Christianity promotes this consumerism way more than Atheism.
