Atheism is the the absence of a belief in a deity. "You KNOW it's a Myth!" If you don't have an active belief in a god, you're an atheist. It's a very good thing! Millions of atheists are closeted, to find out more about freethinkers and how Christians stole Christmas, read on.
Jesus, if you believe the Bible, was actually born in the Spring, but early Christians changed it to mesh with other mythos.
Christians don't own this holiday, and never did. Christianity is neither the first, nor the 5th, nor the 10th mythology to adopt the Winter Solstice as their major day. Mythra, Bel, Krishna, Horus, and even the Mayan Qetzalcoatl were all born on the Winter Solstice.
Want more fun facts?
In 1999, a poll by Barna found that divorce rates among conservative Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and much higher than Atheists and Agnostics experience.
Associated Press' confirmation of Barna's results. The Associated Press analyzed divorce statistics from the US Census Bureau. They found that Massachusetts had the lowest divorce rate in the U.S. at 2.4 per 1,000 population. Texas had the highest rate at 4.1 per 1,000. They found that the highest divorce rates are found in the "Bible Belt."

People ask me if I'm an Atheist.
People ask me if I'm an Atheist. What? Am I an Atheist? Let me make sure I understand your question.
Are you asking me if I have dismissed—as you have dismissed—thousands of gods which used to be in good standing with our ancestors?
Is this what you are asking me?
Are you asking me if I've used my brain and thought about the mythology of all religions?
Are you asking me if I still cling to the Bronze Age and Iron Age mythologies which have the disgusting love-life with blood sacrifice?
Are you telling me that since you have dismissed all past religions and all current religions—except for your own—that this does not make you an atheist to all the religions you have rejected?
When will the religious understand that they are atheists to all other religions, current and past, (except for their own) with which they do not subscribe.
Are you asking me that for the same reasons you dismiss all other religions, is exactly why I dismiss yours?
