But back to the point- Xmas, as practiced in the US, is not religious so much as social- but it does have a religious basis that not all of us share. IF there is reason to keep support for religion out of the government, then perhaps the idea of celebrating this holiday should be rethought. On the other hand, if the government celebration is ok, then it shows a true link between the religion and government, which is not supported by the Bill of Rights.
