Does anyone else find this a wee bit hypocritical?
Dawkins: I'm a Cultural Christian
Christmas is an increasingly secularised festival, particularly here in the UK where the majority of people do not go to church. Where I live there is a high proportion of Muslims, Hindus, and Siekhs. In classrooms, children of these faiths often join in with the celebrations to some degree and are happy to trade Christmas cards with friends.
What does Christmas mean to non-Christians, and can it really have any kind of deep meaning?
A topical thread for the season. Coffee House I think.
