re: Atheists and Christmas

Most people without personality disorders try to get along with their family wherever possible. We also love our loved ones and don't attack them on every point where we think they are wrong - that type of behavior is more of a message board habit.

Anyway, like others have mentioned, Christmas isn't really an overly religious thing in the way it is practiced. If you actually were in the presence of Jesus I imagine he'd be horrified by the way his beliefs are now used to justify a lot of commercialism. I doubt he would actually snatch the expensive toys out of children's hands but he wouldn't love the present holiday as a whole.
