A recent CNN.com article discusses the actions of several atheistic groups to attack religion and the celebrating of Christmas. There is nothing wrong with them pointing out that Jesus was not in fact born on December 25th. It is also acceptable for them to point out that Christmas was grafted onto the celebration of the Winter Solstice or the Birth of the Sun. However, only offering attacks will not help atheists appear loving and moral which is the main attack against them. The better approach for atheists, agnostics, and theists is to help those who are in need. Effecting positive is what we need not more attacks. By doing so, these atheistic groups are falling into the same trap zealous religionists fall into.
