From this year, I have decided to stand up for my atheist beliefs and scrap my Christmas, Easter and prayers.
From now on, I will have nothing to do with Christmas except maybe some lights outside because it looks good and a present at some other time of the year for me and eventually for my children.
Easter is gone all together.
I will also not sing any religious songs at services forced upon me and will not say Amen or read and prayers.
In my opinion, if everyone followed my example, no harm would be done, except to card companies and Bible publishing companies and the world would advance to atheism.
