ya call it "Reality Day"!! If you need to make up a God to be happy you have pretty much missed the point of living. I would rather take every day I have in this life!! Rather than hope against any realistic evidence that a better world exists just after I die! That justice will magically occur once we die and all the bad guys get eternal punshment and the good guys get alot of fun times.

Okay, let's look at this from a different direction. Christians in particular go to church on Sunday, pray for forgiveness, and then go on through the week doing all those morally wrong things that require them to ask for forgiveness again the next Sunday. It's a cycle that never ends. They have a few holidays to really cook up the fervor, but you get those days off too without having to do the whole guilt/forgiveness thing. Not a bad deal in my eyes, and I'm a Deist who doesn't believe in organized religion. I sure do enjoy the family get togethers at Christmas and Easter though, it's about the only time I get to see all my extended family throughout the year because we live so far apart.
Don't land on me with both feet now all you Christians. I know that some of you try to live righteously all the time lol.

Great question! I bet if there was a day named "holiday for the non-superstitious" and was offered to workers with pay, all believers would take the day off and laugh all the way to the bank. Wait a minute, where I work, we get two days called "personal holidays." I guess that covers it.
Personally, I make my own holidays depending on what I want to celebrate.

Like what day would you want. Is there an atheist celebration I am unaware of. I don't believe in any of the man made religions, but what exactly would you be celebrating? Maybe Earth day would be good. I like that. National holiday for our only known giver of life, Earth.

How about this ? We put it on December 25th ! That way we won't have to put through any legislation. We won't have to put up with the Christians telling us we get two days off, theirs and ours. When they ask us why we are taking Christmas off if we are Atheists, we tell them it also happens to be Atheist day.
Plus there is the indignity that Atheist day would fall on the same day as the Christians favorite holiday.

What would be the basis for your "holiday"? Each Christian and Jewish holiday celebrates an event that actually happened, Jesus isn't bs
You don't believe in anything so what is there to celebrate? You should be working those holidays since they're nothing special to you.

What would it be called ?
To me a holiday is a holiday although I see your point about jesus
I enjoy Victoria Day (Canada) no religion there Lord Simcoe Day is another one that has no religious connotations
In the US don't you get some non religious holiday's eg July 4th ????

Rock on, I feel your pain!
But on the other hand I'm not sure we need to celebrate an athiest holiday. Would kinda defeat the purpose of being athiest in the first place, no?
Unless there was a 'national science day' or 'nothing to look forward to when you die - day'...

Just tell your boss that you do not want any of the Christian days off. For your holiday, origin holy day, just take a personal day or a sick day:}

Except you *do* get those days off if you want them.No one is forcing you to go to work on Christmas day.
If an atheist day was implemented,would you feel okay with all Christians taking that day off? It's only fair.
