They say they’re not anti-Christmas. So why don’t they have their “Holiday” in August?

“No God -- no problem! Be good for goodness’ sake. Humanism is the idea that you can be good without a belief in God”

Without God, where do they get their value system? Of course, they borrow it from God. These folks are too funny.

A Godless Holyday? Sounds pretty stupid.

Why do they even have a holiday? They should just go to work. It’s what Hindus and Shinto and Muslims do.

How do you have a Holy Day without God?

...signs and advertisements featured prominently on the city’s Metro subway trains and buses.

I have always despised vandalism, but I would consider anyone who vandalized such signs a hero.

Without God there is no foundation for good or evil. Without God there are no objective values, only personal or social preferences - and there is no rational basis for any person to feel obliged to honor either. Without God there are only two commandments, (1) Do as thou wilt; and (2) Don’t get caught.

Apparently atheists and humanists have a lot of spare time to kill in idiotic pursuits.

Why do atheists want a Holy Day?

"The ads read: “No God -- no problem! Be good for goodness’ sake."

I would encourage them to read C.S. Lewis' essay 'Man or Rabbit' and then think on that a bit more.
