From libertarian Michael A. LaFerrara:
Can non-Christians celebrate Christmas? Many do, and why not? I’m an atheist and I have no problem celebrating Christmas, even though it has no religious significance for me.
What’s great about Christmas is that it is both a religious holiday, being based upon the birth of the Christian icon Jesus, and a secular holiday as well. That makes it a holiday for everyone.
How can I say that? I am indebted to philosopher Ayn Rand for resolving that seemingly contradictory proposition.
