There aren't particular atheist holidays; technically "holidays" is a contraction of "holy days" so it wouldn't really make sense. However, there are secular holidays in most countries - in the UK we have Bank Holidays which can be secular (such as May Day or August Bank Holiday) or religious (Easter Monday and Christmas Day are bank holidays).

Answer:

Atheists happily celebrate every holiday, but not as Holy Days. Any event which sees friends or family together for companionship, happiness, food and drink is open to us. This is a decided advantage over folks moored to a single religious or cultural tradition. We join Jewish friends at a multitude of happy and sad events, Islamic friends at the Eid, Hindus at Diwali, Christians at Christmas, Scots on Burns Night, Wiccans at the solstice, the Zurich Bean Festival in Ontario, Octoberfest. Then again there's Darwin Day, Pi Day and other events that mainstream folk don't usually touch.

Yes. April Fools Day

No such holidays, but they still take days off, not every holiday is a religious one, NewYear or Halloween for ionstance

For what it's worth, Halloween is a religious holiday. The word Halloween is a corruption of Hallow E'en which is a shortening of All Hallows Evening, which is simply the night before All Saints Day. All Hallows Eve is to All Saints Day exactly as Christmas Eve is to Christmas Day.

Lacking any central core of beliefs except for the conviction that there are no god(s), atheists do not have a calendar of festivals.

Atheists happily celebrate almost anyone else's holiday or festival, but not as Holy Days. Any event which sees friends or family together for companionship, happiness, food and drink is open to us. This is a decided advantage over folks moored to a single religious or cultural tradition. We join Jewish friends at a multitude of happy and sad events, Islamic friends at the Eid, Hindus at Diwali, Christians at Christmas, Scots on Burns Night, Wiccans at the solstice, the Zurich Bean Festival in Ontario, Octoberfest.

Holy days are defined as specially recognized as or declared sacred by religious use or authority. Since Atheism is the lack of any belief in gods atheists would have no reason to celebrate or acknowledge any holy days.

It should be noted that "atheists" are not a group with procedures and rules - and hence no common celebrations. The only thing that defines an atheist is the lack of belief in a deity.

There aren't any atheist holidays; holiday is a contraction of "holy day" and atheism isn't a religion.

They also celebrate this festival named raki. It happens every year when the god's birthday is. There are colours thrown on statues, and everyone wears their best clothes. They read from the holy book and eat food. They also have a big procession.

Out of respect and conformity. Most Atheists don't try to convert people into atheists - they just want to be respected and for the world to know that they exist and shouldn't be disrespected.
