remembering 7,109 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 capitalism And commercialism. You don't need to believe in Christianity to buy a Christmas tree, presents, and eat a big meal. We're non-religious and celebrate the commercialism of the holiday.

Daria~ 13,886 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Christmas has become so commercialized that it’s hardly about Christianity anymore. At this point, it’s just like a regular public holiday with gifts and food and parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeongwon 2,631 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Christmas was taken over by pagan traditions, so now it is a holiday for everyone, and the meaning of Christmas is different for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plutto 9,419 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 There are a lot of reasons: Out of habit, respect for their christian family/friends or just because they want to. BTW, christmas has lost its christian meaning to a lot of people. If you ask about Christmas to some people, they would probably think about Santa and not Jesus.

Green Willow 1,638 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 my friend is an atheist and her favorite song is carol of bells at that. some atheists can respect Christmas and what it means, they exist even for the painful stigma they have.
