[Rick29810]

In our society atheists are pretty much forced to participate in many holiday activities, like office gift exchanges, potlucks, etc. Their beliefs are not really treated with respect. If a Jewish person doesn’t participate in Christmas no one bats an eye, but if a non-believer attempts not to participate they get called ‘Scrooge,’ and are looked upon as downright evil. Even if you ask people not to buy you gifts, they often do anyway. Also, besides being a religious holiday, Christmas is a huge secular holiday in this country, things like Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and colored lights having little to do with Jesus’ birth. Many non-believers enjoy many of the traditions of family celebrations and gift-giving.
