    I could name a few things that would cause me to object a religous festival

    Ignorance, Superstition, Violence.

    Also like most holidays, they may be based of a holiday founded by religion, but there modern day counter part is usually not associated with that said religion by most anymore.

    This is like arguing atheists shouldn't go see horror movies. 99.9 percent of the people who go out on Halloween don't do it as a religous celebration.

    Bravo, atheist! Why aren't you out there tearing bags of candy out of the hands of those little monsters? Would save us all a lot of money for supplying handouts.

    We will let you do that for us when you start burning the children dressed as witches.

    Aren't you atheists politically connected enought to do away with Halloween?

    By mentioning the witches I wanted to make clear that I won't object to any religious fest unless it involves illegal activities. Everybody has the right to practice their religion as long as they don't break any laws in the process.
    I can't speak for all atheists of course but i think any sane person would agree.

    We dont want to get rid of any holiday, if you want to celebrate it go for it. Just because we hold a different belief doesnt mean that we are intolerant of others beliefs. Not everyone is like you Why?
