How much is religion a part of your culture?

Not asking if you're religious, but in your society or community how much does religion play a part of your traditions or art or culture?

For example, Christmas is a celebration but it is a religious celebration unlike Halloween or Thanksgiving. Do you have interesting traditions in your community that you enjoy celebrating?

Where I live, public culture used to be dominated by the Catholic Church, in the past, with religious processions, "holy" water, superstition, priests surveilling the "morals" of the people, illegitimate children are a sin, and so on.
Today, people younger than 50 couldn't care less, fortunately.
