Should Atheists actively protest Christmas?

To Will

  I thank you, for your advise but personally except for personal flare ups like just happened with whitney, I do not have problems with anyone other then christians.  Like I said I did not know that Whitney was a women but the fact that she is an Atheist intitles her to respect that I did not show in my posts.  I would apologize to all who were offended by my posts.  My hatred extends to Christianity and no one else.  My disapointment with Atheists would simply be that they do not see the inherent threat of Evangelical and fundamentalists Christians, and this frustrates me at times.  

  So once again thank you for your advice, I have no one to blame but myself for losing my cool.

Being a Atheist I am saying that Atheists should not protest Christmas and similar religious holidays as I don't see any reason to protest.

Especially in February, eh?

Why should we protest Christmas? It's not like it has anything to do with Christianity!!  

Seriously though, I don't think we should protest against religious holidays, even the ones that DO have a legitimate tie to religious beliefs. Unless tax dollars are used to support it - now that I WOULD protest against (the use of tax dollars, not the holiday itself).

No, I disagree completely. The atheist should not protest christmas. It is obviously wrong to spoil other people's fun. It is divisive and immoral. It achieves nothing except a bad vibe between people. The atmosphere just changes when the atheist messes things up for everyone else, and it shouldn't be done, not at all. You can express your views in privacy, that's ok, but it is offensive to poison people's minds with divisive ideas. Just wrong.

Thank you, I didn't want to take the time to point out the irony or the fact that fred didn't read any post and ignored the poll he voted on.

Sometimes I see reasons, like the will to disrupt, but this is simply out of jealousy and a need to belong. It's understandable but very destructive, no wonder most atheists aren't taken seriously, which is a shame as some of them are quite smart.

Not unlike what motivates many theists to troll atheist forums, I imagine.

Again with the irony. Tsk.
