I assume you're using the royal 'we'--there IS NO 'WE' when referring to atheists.


Mate I'm retired. EVERY day is atheist holiday for me. The US seems burdened with a vocal and disproportionately powerful lunar religious right absent in my country and most other civilised nations.

Here Xmas is a secular holiday ,with lip service paid to the religious aspects by most people. EG; It's traditional for southern European,orthodox and Hispanic males to go to church,one of two visits a each year. Most Aussies consider such behaviour extreme. Xmas is about giving and getting presents, eating too much,getting shit faced and fighting with one's relatives.
