Religion, the very source of all major winter holidays has been repeatedly pushed aside recently by those who feel it is a downer on an otherwise joyful holiday season. In a time when 15% of Americans do not identify with a religion, many see the holidays as a secular affair. Many people still believe that religion needs to be at the forefront of the holidays, others think that without religion, we get rid of an unnecessary stick in the mud during the winter festivities.
