I'm an atheist but I celebrate it purely for the materialistic aspect.

I'm atheist and haven't celebrated christmas for a couple of years now. It combines two things I really despise; - Religion and consumerism.

[AlgyTaylor]

I'm an atheist & celebrate Christmas. I don't see celebrating Christmas as any more or less absurd than celebrating new year.

[brooksieb]

Well that's 1 good thing about christianity that everyone can celebrate christmas what ever race, backround or religion.

[bradleybadly]

I celebrate Christmas with all the usual traditions. I think there really was a man named Jesus who existed. Worshipping him is another thing altogether. That's just something I'd rather not do during the season. If my daughter wants to grow up that way it's fine I won't stop her.

[Snorri1234]

I celebrate Christmas because it's tradition in the family.

Meaning you avoid all the commercialism and non religious aspects that have become a traditional part of Christmas, presents for example

Well the presents represent ones that were given to jesus by the 3 kings so that is religious

Sorry but the presents were until very recently given at new year ( Pagan festival ) and have nothing to do with the 3 kings.

[Fircoal]

I'm agnostic and I do. But it's not anything religous for me. That part I don't care about. Modern Christmas FTW!!!!

We do give presents, but my family has been doing it for generations. Long before it ever became commercialized. And also considering that my family is heavily Roman Catholic, we also go to Midnight Mass (of which, I have helped out on a couple occasions).

[The Weird One]

I know atheists that celebrate Christmas.

[mybike_yourface]
