[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. And neither should Christmas be.[/quote] [b]I agree with this in principle[/b], but TBH, Christmas as a national holiday doesn't bother me that much, given that a large majority of Americans do actually celebrate some form of Christmas. No, according to the US Census, only 5% of Americans observe a non-Christian faith,* and half of that number are Jews. It doesn't make a lot of sense to have a national holiday for a religious holiday that only a handful of Americans celebrate. *18% are agnostic/atheist[/quote] It's not about numbers it's about the principle of the government not establishing any particular religion.[/quote] Yes, which is why I said in bold above: I agree with this in principle. See, we agree. :D In practice it doesn't offend me that Christmas is a national holiday, since well more than 75% of the nation's workers would want the day off if it wasn't a national holiday.[/quote]
