Welcome to Gaia! ::

well being easter I'm curious, how many atheists celebrate holidays. I mean unless ur parents, grandparents and great grandparents were all atheists you must of had some sort of tradition. My parents aren't religious, honestly I don't know what they're views are, we don't talk about it ever. But they never made me go to church, which might have played a major role on my being an atheist seing as I didn't have any brainwashing. rofl
Anywho I'm going off topid here, my granparents are all christian. And so our family has always celebrated christian holidays. When I stoped believing in Santa and God, that was no reason to stop a tradition I'd been apart of since I was born. So I celebrate all the christian holidays, just not the religous aspects of them. In this short brutal life you got to seize every opurtunity to celebrate. Not to say I just celebrate cause of the gifts and chocolate. I like seeing my family and GIVING. But that's just me, how about you guys?

My parents and family buy me chocolate...I eat it. There's my tradition.

I don't celebrate any holiday which is why I'm pissed off when I have to decorate the christmas tree. I buy presents for other people but only 'cause they get stuff for me.

I like to get s**t, and I like to give s**t. I dont believe in God, but I do believe in presents surprised

As far as celebrating a holidya, I guess I celebrate the fourth of July, religious holidays, I only practice the gift giving and gift recieving aspect of X-Mas

most holidays are just ways for buisinesses to sell a s**t load of their products
and yes i do celebrate them anyways (cant argue with free stuff)
