It's really a terrific holiday.... getting together with your family, exchanging gifts, great food.... and the message of peace and goodwill is highly positive. If only they would take the mythology out of it.
On the other hand, without religion we'd probably have hovering cars by now.
Assuming we had not lost 800+ year to dark times and retardation of the masses we would be in deep space colonizing now. Hover cars would have been a common place site for the last 300-400 years. Matter energy transfer would probably exist and we would have already had to solve our safe energy issues.
Although many other things could have also happened that still lead to a almost completely ignorant population as it currently sits today in the world. Other than first world countries the rest of the planet is largely not very well educated and many many of them can barely even read one language or do any sort of math.
