RE: Atheistic calendar
even if the days of the week and month are named after fairy-tale characters,
then from this Europeans or Japanese will not believe in God
so even more fun
like fantasy

because, in the Torah one must believe or Christ, it is not clear
or mars

Gregorian calendar is a fabulous fantasy secular calendar.

Russia lives according to the Gregorian calendar, as a secular state

Gregorian calendar is not Catholic but secular
if Russia and Japan live on it

the world lives on a secular calendar
I'm happy

The world lives on the calendar of the common era or AD. Calendar invented by the pope

do you want to live according to the catholic calendar?

Technically, it’s the Roman calendar, with the months named in the days of Numa Pompilius in the 7th or 8th centuries BCE, and the days of the week named after Norse gods. And while the years were supposedly centered around the birth of Jesus, it should be noted that Dionysus Exiguus at the very least, got the date wrong, since King Herod, who supposedly heard of Jesus’ birth and killed all babies in the area (which didn’t happen IRL, but it is part of the lore and Herod the Great was a nasty enough piece of work it’s not too out of character for him) died four years before Jesus was supposedly born, so it’s off by at least four years!

So it’s really not a Christian calendar after all!

Roman and Scandinavian gods BC this is interesting

in the Slavic calendar before Christianization there were popular names of the months

RE: Atheistic calendar
Strictly speaking, the Roman months and Norse days of the week were at different times, but, sure enough, that’s what we live under now. Though Saturday is named for Saturn, and Sunday and Monday are named for the sun and moon, we still latched onto Woden’s Day, Thor’s Day, Freya’s day, and Tiw’s day (though some of them are the germanicised versions, specifically Tiw and Woden).

Christianity has had an extreme impact on the way we look at things, even as it loses its relevance, but the Julian/Gregorian calendar is a bad example.

Chinese system:

Weekday one
Weekday two
Weekday three
Weekday four
Weekday five
Weekday six
Weekday day

Months:
First month
Second month
Third month

OK, you get the idea. The scheme works. The designation of Sunday is a bit strange, but the rest is very logical.

Sorry, but humanity has so many other important issues to deal with, this seems to me completely unimportant.

Are you also complaining about the days of the week being named after Norse gods (Thursday = Thor's day, Friday = Freya, Wednesday = Wotan's day), or the months being named after Roman gods (January = Janus, March = Mars, May = Maia, June = Juno)?

I agree. If one is going to go after far right conservative Christians in the west, I can go with that, but the calendar is the last on my list.

Knowing that Christmas trees and even December 25th is also the birth of other claimed polytheist deities, are trops stolen by Christianity, the calendar is hardly important to me.
