I'm a humanist not a Christian.Do you celebrate Jesus' birthday?
Tell that to the atheists that admit they don't realize this when they claim they celebrate Christ's mass on December 25th.Which by the way, is really not December 25th.
I'm a humanist not a Christian.
If I were all about material gain couched as an excuse to celebrate the holy day of my neighbors, I'd buy loads of gifts for myself, wrap them and then open them on December 25th morning. As it is, I do not.
What I do do on and prior to that Christian's Christmas day is give money to the local shelters, food to the local food banks, and money to those who beg for attention and cash and live outside. Because one does not have to be religious to realize there is always something to be thankful for. In the case of my giving I am thankful in this economy to afford to give others cause to give thanks with my giving.
How about you?

I've never known an atheist to celebrate the birth of the son of a god that doesn't exist. The son would not come into existence because the father god doesn't exist. Be the date in spring or winter it is illogical that a son can be born at any time when no thing that would have created the son exists. One has to predate the other in order for the latter to make sense of the former.I was a Christian for 40 years, so I have always celebrated Christmas and have since moving away from Christianity.
On Jesus birthday; I tend to think more atheists know it isn't December 25th than Christians, based on my experience.
Then you must not know very many atheists. Just about all the ones I know celebrate Christmas, myself included.I've never known an atheist to celebrate the birth of the son of a god that doesn't exist.
What would make you think anyone here is obligated to count the number of times you've admitted you're not an atheist?
Atheists don't celebrate Christ's mass.
If someone who calls themselves an atheist does celebrate December 25th, they're doing it for the material gain in receiving gifts.
Christmas is an exclusive celebration honoring the birth of the Christian's god in the form of the Christ child Jesus.
Sure, atheism is afforded protections. However, atheism doesn't celebrate religious holy days.

Seems only logical when those claiming to be atheists are so ready to tell the religious that atheism isn't a belief.I'm glad you're here to tell me the reasons why I do and don't do things.
Really? What else is it exactly? When Christ's mass is precisely so and has been for generations. What else is it in matters of what the atheist believes about Christ's mass?That's also not all that "Christmas" is. Clearly.
Sure. Of course, they have a very hard time identifying as atheist afterward given the holy day is very precise in matters of it being a Christian celebration.Atheism doesn't. Atheists are free to.
Not really.Then, by the requirement you laid out here, I'm not "all about material gain couched as an excuse to celebrate the holy day of my neighbors", since I do not do that either.
And yet I'm still an atheist. Funny how that works.

Atheism doesn't. Atheists are free to.
Oi, are we policing other people's labels now? Since when are atheism and humanism mutually exclusive?Not really.
And if you're going to claim you're an atheist you should change your identity of "Humanist" on your profile.

You claim to be a humanist, yet are unaware that atheists can be humanists. The two are not mutually exclusive positions.Not really.
