An atheist's take on celebrations occurring around the winter solstice.

The Atheist Christmas Song (video)

December twenty fifth is almost here

That's my very favorite time of year

I'm not a Christian but I like the songs

But as an Atheist I don't belong

And since I like music it's time that I righted a wrong

The radio keeps on playing Silent Night

That I don't have a song just don't seem right

I hope I don't offend anyone

I just want to join in the fun

'Cause isn't that what life's about when all is said and done

I'm having an Atheist Christmas

Yes I know that it's easy to dismiss

I don't believe that there's a God above

But I do believe in peace and love

I still watch every Christmas Show

And ladies, I believe in mistletoe

It's a day to spend with my whole fam-i-ly

And see what kind of presents they bought me

My family kinda leaves me in the lurch

I cook the turkey while they go to church

Then I watch football games from my comfy sofa perch

As an atheist I don't need a tree

A flat-screen TV works just fine for me

It's much more fun to sit around

A tree doesn't have stereo sound

And it's much more fun to watch with every beer that I pound


I must admit that I tend to pray

For a hangover to go away

An atheist just can't conceive

But in a fox hole we all believe

I must admit to my great shame

In the heat of passion I yell His name

I maybe wrong but it's hard to tell

And if I am I'm going straight to hell

I'm having an Atheist Christmas

Yes I know that it's easy to dismiss

"A Christmas Story" is my favorite show

"Its' a Wonderful Life" must never go

The Bible's fiction, this I know

But ladies I believe in mistletoe

Can someone tell me if they give out presents on Hanukkah

That was very funny. It is possible to like Christmas as an atheist these days. There doesn't seem anything religious about the Santa story. However earlier ideas about Christmas was religios. First it was a Pagan celebration of midwinter and the birth of the sun. Then the Christians adopted it, and made it the day of Christ's birth. Christmas may change it's significance in the future.

@SonGanon How many is it? Is it in decimal point?

[ninjapenguin773]

@TourmalineOpal Christians didnt adopt it they purposefully moved it in order to convert pagans.

[thesupersandwhich]

oh so know athiests can celebrate CHRISTmas, that's wrong, that would be like me pretending to be Jew to get gifts on hannukah

[BigMidget06]

@AliMishel yup. its a belief just like bald is a hair color and off is a tv channel. yup...

[PeacefulAtheist1]

@AliMishel Sure, I agree. Surely you and I both believe there aren't any mermaids, so according to you the belief that there are no mermaids is just like Christianity which is a belief. Doesn't bother me. Regardless, I think it's merely a semantics game rather we call ourselves Atheists or Agnostics or both.We agree with each other and hold the same stance on religion. We don't adhere to a particular dogma. We are non-theists. That's what matters. So Happy Holidays if you celebrate anything! ^_^

[AliMishel]

@PeacefulAtheist1 Thankyou for pointing out that athiests "believe". Atheism is a belief just as Christianity is a belief. Neither can be proven with your beloved science

[AliMishel]

@IAMAPEANUT1 Im a Christian, but that was just unloving and mean. This is why Christians have a bad name. for damning everyone to hell who isnt as "holy" as them

[AliMishel]

@wakkawakka420 Prove that theres a God? Ok. Well first, while youre reading this, are you thinking? yes. What are you thinking about? probably "look at this dumb Christian thinking they can prove mw wrong, I HAVE SCIENCE" am I right? well if I am, or even if Im not, can you prove that you thought that thought? or that you didnt think that thought? Ill prove God when you can prove that. Spriritual things cant be proven by science, but by results and historical facts.

[Modgoth]

You want an atheist Christmas just like same sex couples want a marriage. Both based upon religion "They say they want the kingdom But they don't want God in it"

[AnnaBRProductions101]

Are u really an athiest?

[MOSSBERGxSHOTTY]

@TourmalineOpal other then the thing about Santa being SAINT Nick. lol
