I did!! I keep saying that I gave up God and Jesus for Lent years ago, and it's been working so well that I think I'll keep it up.

That would be missing the point a bit.
The Catholic Church and many other Christians Churches follow the Biblical practice of Jesus Christ and the Jews in setting aside days where the entire Church fasts and prays as one in a attitude of constant renewal.
By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert and in spiritual preparation for the celebration of His Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
This season of penance is an intense moments of the Church's penitential practice and are particularly appropriate for spiritual exercises, penitential liturgies, pilgrimages as signs of penance, voluntary self-denial such as fasting and almsgiving, and charitable and missionary works.
With love in Christ.

Because it's a completely illogical question. You might as well ask someone to cut down trees in celebration of Arbor Day.

But then again, there's always giving up "asking ridiculous questions that have been asked 50 times today". Weigh your options, pal.

This sounds good--I think you should propose this to that Ratzinger fellow (alias pope) so that everyone could follow his good example.

Because, God, giving up "relgion" would amount to giving up on You.
