Even if you're an atheist like me, there value in a day that everyone gets off. A holiday. A day you can spend with the family and nobody has to go anywhere and do anything. A day - crazy as it sounds - when maybe we don't have to buy anything.
You realize that even in secular European countries they have stat holidays, right? And the countries completely shut down on those days.
