Eh, I’m fine with it. The death of Christianity will be a net good for humanity, so I’ll take whatever gets us closer to that.

All three Abrahamic religions need to die.

Have you seen the kinds of cultish grifts New Agers AND New Atheists alike have been on? Nature abhors a vaccuum.

Just saying I don’t want the Spirit Science guy calling the shots on major holidays

None of our major holidays are at all related to Abrahamic religions. Easter is still named for the ancient fertility goddess whose festival it was before it was reskinned as Christian. Christmas takes the pan-european mid winter festival and paints a star on it. The pre-christian Romans held the festival of Sol Invictus (the invincible sun) on December 25th. Christmas trees were a pre-christian tradition in and around modern Germany

There would be massive social pressure to not change holidays

Wasn’t the Easter = Ishtar connection debunked? The rest of that is pretty legit though
