So, Atheists will need to work through all the religious holidays? Do Jews start getting their religious holidays off?
How about all the Muslim holidays?
How about Wicca? I'm sure they have special days too.
Do we start making Canadians working in this country work over our Thankgiving Day holiday and let them take theirs off?
Besides, when was the last time Christmas was really about the birth of Jesus? It's really become a retail holiday. All about opening presents on Christmas morning.

Yes.
It should still be a time with family. I think everyone deserves a break from working even if they do not celebrate Christmas. It is nice when everyone has the same days off of work during winter whether they celebrate Christmas. It's fair to everyone. It's about togetherness and love. Since schools let out for Christmas and kids are home, I believe people who work and do not celebrate Christmas still should have the opportunity to have family time. It should be about equal as well.

No, if you truly do not believe in Christmas then you should not get the time off.
I'm usually pretty open minded about this, but I once worked with a lady that swore that she needed special time off for her religious beliefs and got it - then got busted on a vacation in Florida - the company re-wrote the policy and EVERYONE lost out in the long run. Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth if you know what I mean.

I doubt that Christianity could be considered a custom interior the sense that Judaism and Islam must be because of the fact that Christians are too distinctive a inhabitants, maximum with ethnic cultural roots that are somewhat break away their non secular identities, a lot of those roots having confident ties to historical pagan pasts, whilst Jews and Muslims look extra heavily linked to cultures that are inseparable from their religions; they have an inclination to define their lives with the aid of their religions with prescribed nutritional rules and prohibitions that are practiced in all areas of their activities, while Christians, even non secular ones, work together with and in societies that are frequently secular, extra prominently in North and South u . s . of america, Europe, Australia, and western Asia. Re: your previous question, whether, the reasoning at the back of the ruling there seems to me to be somewhat convoluted: the Menorah and celebrity & Crescent are, for my section, non secular symbols interior the comparable sense that a Creche would be...

I'm sure there are a ton of Xians who take time off work and dont even go to church to celebrate what X-Mas is really about - the birth of Jesus.
NOT going to the mall to spend tons of $$ on stuff to give to others.
Many businesses close for Xmas & Easter regardless what religions their employees practice

How can you not believe in Christmas. It is, in fact a holiday that is celebrated in many countries on December 25th. I mean really, what is there to not believe?

If everyone else gets a day off, why shouldn't they? Unless they want a different day off for their religion.

No way, they have there own religious holidays off, unless we took those holidays off as well.
