Dear Atheists: If You Hate Christianity, Stop Celebrating Our Holidays

"My culture is not your costume!"

That's a phrase you've probably heard from Left-wing progressives.

White people are told that wearing clothing from or inspired by another culture is somehow racist and colonizer behaviour. Even styling your hair a certain way is not okay.

People who are adopting these fashion trends are doing so because they like them. In no way are they trying to mock another culture. You could even think of it as admiration.

The funny thing is, no culture on earth has been mocked more, stolen, and appropriated than Western Christian culture.

People wear expensive gold and silver crosses around their necks while openly mocking Christ. College girls dress up in slutty nun outfits to go clubbing on Halloween. Atheists and broader society have even twisted the name of Jesus into a curse word– something said in anger and frustration.

But there are more subtle ways in which our culture has been perverted. Almost every Christian holiday you celebrate has been subverted into a shallow, secular version of what it was designed to represent.

I'm not going to blame it all on the subversive types, weak-minded Christians are also at fault. Christians as of late have allowed bad-faith actors to hijack their traditions without a fight.

Since every other culture has the right to reclaim and gatekeep their traditions, so too should Christians. Our holidays should be reserved for Christians and Christians alone.

Atheists, you can go celebrate Science Day or the National Day of Reason. Exchange stuffed animals or something, I don't care. But we shouldn't be seeing any of you Godless heathens celebrating these five holidays that are—and always will be—Christian!

Valentine's Day

You probably didn't know Valentine's Day was Christian, but it is.

Valentine's Day originally named Saint Valentine's Day, after a Roman Catholic priest who secretly performed the sacrament of marriage for Christian couples when it was illegal under Roman law. For this, he was imprisoned and beheaded on February 14, by emperor Claudius the II.

So what has this Christian holiday become? Perhaps the most commercialized holiday of the year. The expectation for this day is that you buy your girl fancy chocolates, flowers, a Hallmark card, and take her out in the city. Meanwhile, most people think Saint Valentine is cupid or something.

That's not all. 'Valentine's Day sex' is another expectation for couples. If you're married, great, but we all know that atheists all over the country are using a Christian holiday that should be used to venerate a Saint to fornicate with their boyfriend or girlfriend.

Hey atheists, instead of using our holiday about sacrificial love and marriage to sin against God and your own bodies and blow your money, why don't you just come up with your own holiday?

Some name ideas: 'Fornication Day,' 'Sexual Degenerate's Day,' 'All Gooner's Eve.' You're welcome.

Halloween

This one is even controversial among Christians. Halloween comes from a Christian tradition, 'All Hallows' Eve,' the night before 'All Saints' Day.' Once again, a holiday designed to venerate the Saints and honor the dead. Costumes were worn to scare off evil spirits, as were the Jack-O-Lanterns placed on porches.

I'm pretty sure the whole point wasn't supposed to be to dress evil yourself... the Saints would not be happy with everyone running around in Satan costumes on their holiday. Don't even get me started on the extremely inappropriate 'slutty nun' costumes.

Halloween was supposed to be about remembering Christian martyrs, but now it's pretty much a half-naked devil-worship fest since we let non-Christians (dare I say anti-Christians) take control of everything.

Instead, can you guys just do your own holiday, and make it a little more honest? We can give you October 30. How about 'All Demon's Day' or 'All Sluts' Eve'? Thanks.

St. Patrick's Day

Surprise, another wholesome Christian holiday meant for venerating Saints that's been completely perverted.

Yes, the Irish should take some of the blame for this one. St. Patrick's Day, as it stands today, basically exists as an excuse for adults to parade the streets in green while acting like uncontrollable alcoholics.

The holiday originates from an official Catholic feast day to commemorate Saint Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland. Born in the late fourth century in what was Roman Britain, he was captured and taken as a slave to pagan Ireland as a teenager. He later returned to Ireland as a missionary, establishing the Catholic Church and converting many Irish people.

Of course, now the holiday isn't just about Saint Patrick, but a larger celebration of Irish heritage.

I have no problem with that– national pride is something we need more of, not less of. But it's pretty weird to turn a holiday that's supposed to be a celebration of Irish Christianity into an excuse to get blackout drunk.

Christians should be offended and appalled by this appropriation of not only the Catholic faith, but Irish culture!

Christmas

I don't think any holiday has been done dirtier than my favorite one: Christmas. The subversive attempts to remove the 'Christ' from Christmas have been mind-boggling.

Christmas is a holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianity. Traditions have varied, but it's been around for almost 2,000 years, and the point has always been to reflect on God sending his son to earth in human form.

It wasn't until the past few decades that there has been a huge effort to make the Santa from the Coca-Cola bottles the central figure of Christmas instead. Not only that, but Hollywood and Big Business collaborated to make a day which was always supposed to be about giving into the most consumerist, materialistic day ever!

But apparently, that wasn't enough for them. After stealing our holiday, non-Christians told us that it's impolite to wish strangers a Merry Christmas, and we have to give them a meaningless 'Happy Holidays' instead.

Listen, if you're not Christian, you really shouldn't be celebrating Christmas. It's not for you. You can rack up credit card debt on a PS5 for your kids and a vacation to Cabo on any other day of the year, you don't need to use the birth of our Savior as an excuse to do it.

And nope, atheists don't get to keep Santa, either. That's Saint Nicholas, and he's ours too.

Easter

Easter is absolutely the most important holiday of the year. It's the day that Christians celebrate Christ's resurrection, which is the central tenet of Christianity.

But how many non-Christians celebrate it every year with Easter bunnies, chocolate eggs, and family dinners without even acknowledging the whole point of the holiday?

Last year, President Joe Biden (a so-called Catholic) even issued a statement honoring some made-up day called 'trans day of Visibility' on Easter Sunday. Then, they banned 'religious symbols' (like crosses or empty tombs) from the White House egg decorating contest!

Non-Christians, it would make a lot more sense for you to just stop celebrating our holidays than to turn them into meaningless celebrations centered around some fake bunny and chocolate eggs.

Christians are getting sick and tired of this religious appropriation, and we want our holidays back.

The truth is, so many of our holidays, traditions, and values derive from Christianity because it actually means something.

We have beauty and truth, and don't just think that we're temporarily flying on a floating rock through space. That means we're more likely to actually create things, rather than just destroy them.

Without belief in God, you just end up worshipping weird things like transgender activism or COVID protocols. You start to believe that the Earth is about to burn up in five years from climate change, so there's no point in having kids.

But hey, Atheists are free to come up with 'Trust the Science Day' or 'The World is Going to Burn Up in Five Years Day.' Nobody's stopping you!
