Do Humanists have any festivals?
Humanism is a naturalistic, non-religious philosophy of life (though the word can be used in other ways). There are two specifically humanist annual festivals - Darwin Day on February 12 and World Humanist Day on June 21. Humanists will also value Human Rights Day (10 December), International Women's Day (8 March), World Environment Day (5 June), World Peace Day (21 September) and other such days. Humanists are happy also to celebrate the (pre-Christian) midwinter festival now known as Christmas - some label it Newton Day as Isaac Newton was born on December 25.
Is nightwish a religious band?

What does religious customs mean?
Religious customs are behaviours which are associated with the forms of worship practised in a particular religion, or which are commanded by the holy scriptures of the particular religion. Thus the practise of "crossing yourself", practised by Roman Catholics, is a part of their worship, and is a religious custom. Likewise, abstinence from pork is a behaviour required by the scriptures of both Muslims and Jews, and is thus a religious custom. Sometimes, however, people think that behaviours practised primarily by a particular religious group are religious customs when in fact they are just . . . customs. For example, the wearing of headscarves by Muslim women in contexts outside of worship is not actually mandated in scripture and is thus just a custom.

No, because people may not celebrate festivals for religious reasons.It really depends. In my opinion No. This is because festivals may not be religious, they are just there for fun. And people in Hong Kong swap religion for materialism... No way that is a good thing...So my answer: No.
