>>16729292>people like you are mentally ill. You do it because it's a historic family tradition yet by not even believing in your own God you already spit on untold generations of your ancestors.I think you'll find the majority of intelligent Jews, and intelligent non-Jews, in the US are atheists. It's really difficult to believe that stuff is non-fiction if you have some degree of reasoning skills. Also, caring about what your ancestors think is extremely silly and childish.
>>16729277>>atheist celebrating religious holidays >CringeIt's just an excuse for families to get together. I think the majority of non-Jewish atheists in the US celebrate Christmas or whatever, as well. There isn't really a religious tint to it for most people who celebrate such things in general, really. How many people out there are really thinking about a baby Jesus Christ at Christmas or some story about God making some oil last a few days? It's just a pleasant time to connect with family and exchange gifts.
