Christmas should be downgraded unless other religious festivals are marked on an even footing, a Government think-tank has said.

Channel 4 – News – Think-tank says ‘downgrade Christmas’.

The Institute for Public Policy Research makes the same mistake as many others, by assuming that “Christmas” is a religious festival, and that other “cultures” (i.e. religions) should have similar attention paid to their festivals.

Oh, give me strength! It might be a good idea to downgrade the whole hoo-ha, but not for religious or “multicultural” reasons. It’s only November 2nd, and I’m fed up with it already.

Read about Humanists at “Christmas” (or whatever you call it).

This story inspired a Thought for the Day.
