Christmas continues to be under assault in the public square in America and apparently in the UK also. However, Richard Dawkins the rather famous atheist says not to blame him, he is not one who’s trying to do away with Christmas traditions:
“I like singing carols along with everybody else. I’m not one of those who wants to purge our society of our Christian history.”
Dawkins also states that he considers himself a ‘cultural Christian’:
“This is historically a Christian country (UK). I’m a cultural Christian in the same way many of my friends call themselves cultural Jews or cultural Muslims.”
Nevertheless, Richard Dawkins does continue to hope that his book, God Delusion, will lead many to leave their religious faith behind and become atheist instead.
Response: This is quite an interesting story. I guess that Christmas is too good to give up. Even if you don’t really believe in it you can still celebrate it anyway?
Just proves that Christmas was God’s gift to everyone, even atheists. For God so loved the world that he gave us his only Son –the first Christmas gift.
