I agree. We seem to have a horrible marketing team.
How do we expect people to become atheistic when we have no holidays for them? We can plant all the fossils we want, but we'll still need holidays!
I'll be sure to take this issue to the board, thanks for bringing it up! :)

I celebrate all chocolate holidays and all food holidays.
I celebrate the changing of the seasons, and the midpoints of the seasons.
I have big celebrations for the winter solstice (Giving Presents day).
And I celebrate the Eids (esp. Eid al Fitr) with my family (it's a big feast & new clothes day).

I happily celebrate costume day (I call it Halloween), tree and present day (I call it Christmas), alcoholic day (I call it New Years), Bunny Egg day (I call it Easter) etc.
Sorry to tell you, but all your holidays have been so secularized that we dont even stand out when we celebrate them without inclusion of a diety. Actually, the religious people tend to get funnier looks for putting up a big Jesus than I get for putting up a bit Santa. Sad isnt it?

We have New Year's, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving (Where we thank the turkey for being delicious), and, of course, Shake Your Head In Pity That People Still Spend Their Lives Believing In Myths Day.

Since atheists are always free to worship the government (Marxism is one such atheist religion), they can adopt any governmental holiday as a religious holiday.

Shoot, if the Christians can steal Pagan holidays, why can't we steal the Christian holidays?
Edit: Gary, can we change that to beer and t-shirts? You can have too many toasters, but you can NEVER have too much beer.

We do have holidays. Go look at a calendar instead of trolling.
