I am partial to the 4th of July myself. I like to call it "Let's set some shit on fire and eat BBQ day".
Although I celebrate lots of holidays that are considered religious. Christmas being one of them. To me it is a day to get together with family and show your appreciation....and get presents. *laugh*
For me it isn't about religion. It is part of the culture I grew up in. Besides I think of Santa Claus not Jesus when I think of Christmas. Someone joked that they celebrate Giftmas every year.
Now if you are asking if there is a holiday specifically for Athiests then I do not know of one. I supose I could go around every day that isn't a religious holiday and greet everyone with Happy Non-Holiday! That would be silly though. Maybe we should claim "Talk Like a Pirate Day".
Oh man...curiosity led me to Google and I found all the sites with people wanting to create an Athiest Holiday.
