Holidays are something I've been extremely confused about lately. As an atheist I dont even know if I'm allowed to use the word HOLIday. I'm interested in knowing if any of you fellow Atheists celebrate holidays such as Christmas and Easter, and if not do you celebrate something else on the same day? Or nothing at all?

Hello everyone,

I just joined Think Atheist and have finally got the courage to stand for my own beliefs.

But my girlfriend believes in God and is a devout Catholic. She once told me that she

didn't know how she could have a relationship with me if I didn't believe [in god]. So...

I don't know what to tell her, and I don't want to lie to her anymore. Any suggestions?
