If you're an atheist, then by definition, it doesn't matter what holidays you celebrate.

If you want to be nice to your spouse, then that's most likely the over-riding concern that determines how you want to conduct your celebrations, and you'd go through the motions of 'celebrating' or at least acknowledging whatever occasions [s]he wants to celebrate. A Jewish spouse that married an atheist ought to be quite easy to please.

On the other hand an atheist can participate in any holiday he wants as long as he finds the company of the other celebrants pleasant, the food enjoyable and the opportunity to interact with people he likes worthwhile. He is not constrained to celebrate only the appropriate holidays for his peer group.

In that sense, the atheist enjoys a unique flexibility, although it may justifiably be remarked that the line between participation and celebration has become fuzzy.
