Atheist Christmas Cards on Fox News

Andrew Shaffer, owner and creative director of Order of St. Nick, talks with "Fox and Friends" about atheism and the "war on Christmas." He also has some trouble keeping his eyes open, as this was taped at 5:20am--although he probably wouldn't be the first Fox News guest to nearly fall asleep.

im agnostic and i celebrate christmans, but to me christmas is a time to celebrate friends and family..not a 3000yr old childrens story..

Well, the birth of Christ is only about 2000 years old, not 3000 years old--and I'm sure many would disagree that it's a children's story. But still, I see your point: For many, Christmas is a time to celebrate with family and friends, regardless of faith.

So do Christians believe that Santa Clause is real since you can't prove he doesn't exist?

[OrderofStAndrew]

The real St. Nick lived in the 3rd and 4th centuries, just a short time removed from Jesus' own birth...so, technically, he *did* exist.

I love how the host forgets to mention how insane you must be to get offended by the phrase, "Happy Holidays."

Please just end your life if these are the things you get hung up over.

Just one more issue faux news uses to place a wedge between peoples.

@OrderofStAndrew Exactly. Its not a children's story, but christmas is a holiday adapted from the pagans, not originally christian.

[TheLeardMan]

Christmas is just another Pagan holiday stolen by Christians.

[showbizjosh40]

Christmas is not Jesus birthday. It actually has pagan origins.

im an atheist, so im not complaining when a couple of religious people want to give me some time off and by me gifts.

[matthewtaylorbrown]

Happy holidays is for all of us, Merry Christmas is just for Christians. Yeah for marketing!

Luckely we are more or less free of this, as in my language X-mas is just Ziemassvētki ("ziema" winter + "svētki" fest, holydays), no matter if it's Christian, Pagan or Atheist.
