Can other celebrate Christmas?
Of course other people can celebrate christmas. Christmas is a tradition, and it is more and more celebrated by christians and atheists alike. Christmas has become much more of a family thing as opposed to a religious thing.
Why do atheists partake in religious holidays?
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. To show respect for others' holiday, we say Merry Christmas and truly wish people who do celebrate it have a joyous day of Dec. 25th.
Why do not jewish people celebrate christmas?
It is unclear what the question is asking.If it is asking "Why do Non-Jews celebrate Christmas?", the answer would likely be: They celebrate it because they are Christians or Atheists from a Christian Background and connect with Christmas in a spiritual or familial way.If it is asking "Why do Jews not celebrate Christmas?", the answer would likely be: Most Jews ignore Christmas; it is simply not something of any importance to them in much the same way that Christians ignore Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, or Diwali (which are Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu holidays) because they are not relevant to their tradition. Jews hold that their savior is not yet born, so it would be improper to celebrate the birth of a false Messianic Candidate.
Which other religions celebrate Christmas?
Other religions that celebrate Christmas include secular individuals, atheists, and some individuals of non-Christian faiths who join in the festivities for cultural or social reasons.
What religion doesn't believe in Christmas?
All Hallows' Eve was the Christian celebration of the lives of those who died in Christ. It later became co-opted by Celtic pagans who celebrated Samhain (end of summer). Certain aspects from Samhain were combined with the Christian holiday, such as communication with the dead, to give us the secular Halloween festival. Since it is secular, no religions celebrate it. All Hallows' Eve or All Saints Day coincides with Halloween and the distinction may be blurred in some churches.

When is atheist day?
there is no atheist day. atheists usually celebrate the local traditional holidays in a secular way for example my family celebrates Christmas with a xmas tree, gift giving and a big family lunch - this celebration has no religious significance or elements it is simply a time to get together with family and enjoy each others company I think other atheists in other traditions do the same thing by the way atheism is characterized by a lack of belief in a god or gods so atheists don't worship anything
Can you be an atheist and still celebrate a tradition?
Traditions do not necessarily involve religious observance. Even those with an overlay of religion like Christmas can be celebrated as the underlying folk tradition (Yule, Winter Solstice) In general atheists have been observed participating in anything that provides food, drink and the company of friends with no deeper thoughts than food, drink and the company of friends. The position that atheists are gloomy types who mope around the outside of Christmas parties wishing they could come in is somewhat exaggerated.
What do atheists celebrate?
Since an atheist is only the position of unacceptance of god claims, they would celebrate like anyone else, such as cookouts, birthdays, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, and even Christmas since the holiday is not strictly based on any Christian dogma
