Then you should call it Giftmas or something, the 'Christ' bit at the start is a bit of a give away about it's origins even if it is a replacement for a pagan festival.
That said, the figure doesn't surprise me, out of the 5 people living in my house, 4 were bought with with religion, none of use are at all now. I think having Christianity as an established faith is a good thing, we celebrate those holidays, and many of our values and laws are based on Christian teachings. We have developed as a nation which allows free speech and freedom to believe anything you wish. I do think having more christians in this country would be a better thing, might teach some of these scum kids to respect their lives, community and culture instead of forming into gangs and doing the opposite.
Hmm, pie.
