A holiday does not have to be a "holy" day. I would love to see one for atheists that's similar to MLK or Juneteenth, where the lead up is knowledge and education, fun learning, maybe a fest of all the gods that are mythical. God is real but Thor is just a myth?


You want a national holiday about “education and fun learning” and a fest of all gods that are mythical, for a celebration of atheism?

Can you explain more about this holiday?
PI Day, March 14

So don’t celebrate them. We that do believe, enjoy holidays. I know people who don’t believe that still enjoy holidays. If you want to isolate yourself from tradition, society, and culture, that’s your choice.

Because it’s a fun tradition to celebrate holidays. We know atheists are allergic to fun.

Bill Maher has proposed a holiday for atheists in the name of inclusivity.

“Atheists, we’re approaching a third of the population here. I shouldn’t have to beg for this for God sakes,” Maher quipped. “It’s outrageous. There are this many of us and there is still zero representation in government.”

What would this holiday be about?

I think of Thanksgiving, New Year’s, Memorial Day and Labor Day as my holidays. I am also partial to the equinoxes and the solstices. I like Tau Day, makes more sense than Pi day, although Pi day is more fun (I birthed a mathematician).
