They still happen around the time for the crops and the seasons on which once upon a time our ancestors were entirely dependent. It was also a good excuse for a party.
While some religious festivals may involve celebrations and parties, their primary purpose is typically to commemorate and honor a religious event, figure, or tradition. These festivals often hold deep cultural and spiritual significance for those who observe them, providing an opportunity for reflection, worship, and community bonding.
Humanists do not have specific festivals in the same way that religious communities do. However, some Humanist organizations may hold events or gatherings to celebrate ethical values, human rights, or scientific achievements. These celebrations often focus on promoting a sense of community and shared human values.
Nightwish is not a religious band. Their music predominantly explores themes of fantasy, nature, and personal experiences rather than focusing on religious topics.

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.
They were part of religious festivities in honour of the god/gods, just as athletic games were.
Because people just want an excuse to go wild and party and get drunk. They regret it later, but it does NOT have to do with the holiday!!! Anything you buy me.
Native Americans danced for religious ceremonies, festivals, honor their gods, or just for entertainment
no
we think its just a nother excuse for wet backs like yourself and hicks like us to get drunk and party
Like a baptism/naming ceremony. Hindus have a weakness for ceremonies and festivals. They just need an excuse. Actually there are 14 ceremonies for a child from conception to end of studies and entry into the house-holder stage. See Wikipedia -Samskaras (Hinduism). :)
Being drunk is no excuse. Many people get drunk and may be attracted to someone else at a party, but most 'look and don't touch.' Get rid of your boyfriend because he'll cheat on you again and being drunk just isn't a good enough excuse.
i think its just for fun
It may be because of the party going on in your house or nearby. Festivals are so exciting that it is hard to sleep. Some children may not sleep, just to catch Santa in action!
