Why would you? An Atheist recieving presents yesterday is no different than you receiving them....after all, youre nothing more than a hypocritical believer, so if you can get presents, so can I...
Seeing as yesterday was a PAGAN celebration, you people have no right to celebrate shyte anyways. So you give back your presents - and the Pagan holy day, you icon PIRATES.

You can't convert to atheism in the first place. You either believe in a god or you don't. As far as we know, Jesus (if he truly did live) was not born in December but in the spring. I received plenty of presents and I am not a Christian. I am not returning them. Why should I? I like presents! Have a great day!

"Atheism" isnt a organized religion like "Christianity" or "Islam", unless you want to "send back" all the presents, you dont have to. Many atheists celebrate the holiday season with their family and will accept presents. They can celebrate the secular holiday "Christmas" as much or as little as they want.

Atheism isn't a religion. There's nothing to convert to. Besides, we celebrate Xmas because we like presents like any other person.

Atheism isn't a religion.
Christmas is commercial.
Frank Zappa ...Uncle Bernies Farm
(I'm dreaming...)
There's a bomb to blow yo mommy up,
A bomb for yo daddy too! (Ouch!)
A baby doll that burps 'n pees;
A case of airplane glue!
There's a hungry plastic troll,
To scarf yo buddy's arm!
There's a box of ugly plastic things marked:
"UNCLE BERNIE'S FARM"
There's a little plastic 'CONGRESS'
There's a 'NATION' you can buy!
There's a doll that looks like mommy
(She'll do anything but cry) (Yes, Sir)
There's a doll that looks like daddy
(He's a funny little man...
Push a button 'n ask fo money:
There's a dollar in his hand!) (Check his wallet)
We gotta send Sanny claus back to de Rescue Mission!
Christmas don't make it no more!
Don'tcha know that murder an' destruction
Scream de toys in every store! (I think this is sold in New York)
There's a man who runs the country
There's a man who tried to think
And they're all made out of plastic
(When they melt, they start to stink)
There's a book with smiling children,
Nearly dead with Christmas joys
And smiling in his office
is the creep who makes 'the toys'
(They got this car, when it hits the wall, you can see the guy dying
You got little plastic pools of blood
Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho (I'm dreaming...)
...intestines...you can see right into his stomach...
There's this other thing, I...
I got bombs, I got rockets, I got a, I got a stillson wrench
and comes with a tape recorder...
I got plastic brass knuckles
with sound effects
We got a '39 Chevy...
I am agnostic.

Christmas is mostly a secular celabration. There's nothing in the Bible about giving presents for Christmas. Christians stole this holiday like religions before it did. It used to be just a festive celebration of the solstice.

Only if you have recited the official creed and been de-baptised with certified, unblessed dirt in a ceremony that conforms to the approved rite of the American atheist church. Otherwise, you're probably still tainted by Christianity.
(BTW, when is the ADULT Christ's birthday?)

no you can keep the gifts as they are presents from the people who know and love you are you sure you're not agnostic do you feel that there isn't enough evidence to prove or disprove the existence of a higher being do you feel that there's no way of ever possibly knowing if there's a higher being or not if so you might be an agnostic like i am

you should have boycotted xmas in the first place..but don't fret there is still hope for you. First, the presents have nothing to do with jeebuz. It is just our insane culture's way of promoting cumplusory consumption to keep the economy from foundering. You don't have to return them but if you are uncomfortable about keeping them, I suggest donation or regifting. Good Luck.

No. The very nature of a gift is a sacrifice (time, money, etc.) at heart.
Doesn't matter what you believe or don't...
Just like Christ's sacrifice was a free gift to everyone. You can choose to take it or not. Once received though you can't return it.
