Say, Good Ole Paul, one would like to know why it is okay to bash Christian traditions and question the relevance to the religion.

One does not seem to hear the same protestations regarding Islamic traditions and whether they are scripturally sound.

But I am sure that atheists and people of other religons alike partake of the charitable Christmas giving.
