Do Atheists put up Christmas decorations? [Spirituality & Religion]

SW-User
I do, they're purely pagan anyway.
SW-User
I do. No crosses or mangers or wise men. Just colourful shiny tacky things to celebrate overconsumption.
SW-User
@SW-User Likewise!

Christmas is not an entirely "Christian" holiday so not all decorations are religious in nature...why wouldn't they? The main thing about the holiday that should be remembered and shared by both views on the season is "peace on earth, goodwill toward men". Unfortunately we don't see much of that these days.

[c=#4C0073]Im not an atheist, but if I was I would simply for my children. It’s too easy for a kid to be excluded these days. I wouldn’t want my child to be ostracized because of a decision I made.[/c]

Most people who celebrate christmas aren’t even christian. It’s a commercialised holiday.

There are no such people but, if your talking about skeptics, I'm pretty sure some of them do just for fun.

@Pherick [quote]Actually you didn't.[/quote]

What part of what I told didn't you understand?
Pherick · 41-45, M
@GodSpeed63 LOL the part where you didn't. The part where you answered a simple question with contradicting statements. The part where you changed the subject in order to avoid answering.

@Pherick [quote] the part where you didn't.[/quote]

Explain.

Anyone can celebrate it in their own way if they want to.
I don’t. But that has nothing to do with my atheism.
Pherick · 41-45, M
Sure, I celebrate Yule.
SW-User
I know several that do

I sometimes like to put lights up at my office. The wife got rid of all of our decorations at home last year, but before that, we'd have a tree up and some other decorations.

Of course, do you think I would miss the chance to legitimately enjoy my regression into childhood? 😆 All the glitter, color lights, kitch and fluffy stuff! 😍
I know several who do. And they exchange presents.
Yes we do. Or any other ones we want to celebrate. We aren't locked in. We have options.

[c=#7700B2]is Christmas really about religion these days? [/c]
suzie1960 · 61-69, F
@PlumBerries Yes, it's getting back to its Pagan origins. :)
