| EricHiggin said: This is like saying, 'if you're not a Christian, you shouldn't be celebrating, giving or receiving gifts at Christmas.' Not everyone believes the same things, in the same manner, and ironically, not even in a melting pot. |
It depends. If they aren't religious to begin with, there is no divine moral mandate not to celebrate Christmas, is there?
I think it goes without saying that most religious people don't think much about the implications and consequences of their belief systems and actions. That doesn't mean you can dismiss a challenge on a particular viewpoint because someone having a right to their own opinion or not is irrelevant to the argument.
Agreeing to disagreeing has never been anything but fallacious if not outright damaging when factually wrong opinions are involved (anti-vaxxer, flat Earthers, etc.)
