I guess another good criterion here to add is that the holiday is NOT commerical in nature. That would then eliminate the Super Bowl. Labor Day is another good add. What I can say I see, when you have people trying to actively come up with something specifically not religious, is the holiday in question (or some other cultural artifact) ends up being the cultural product of a nerd. Not sure nerd culture stuff will have mass approval. On the language side, you get Esperanto and Klingon. Festivus is one on the holiday side. You have other stuff like the Jedi religion. Stuff ends up being too brainy for its own good. As someone did mention Pi Day is another, and that would also fit as "Too Nerdy". Like Darwin day, it ends up being a trumpeting of intellect. It reminds me of the top 50 atheist lists. It is generally about intellect. There is Kwanzaa, which is the creation of a Marxist college professor, so that might count. |
so just like an atheist.
