Maybe we should compare atheists and theists...and see which group buys more Christmas trees?
The Jewish religion does not believe in the birth of Jesus Christ...of course Christmas would be an irrelevant holiday for them.

I can't believe I am arguing with people that "CHRISTMAS TREES" which are a central tradition to CHRISTMAS, THE CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST, cannot be taken as a religious symbol. It has CHRIST right in the name. I really have to shake my head sometimes. True, some people buy "holiday trees" and are not Christian, but to say that Christmas trees cannot be construed as relating to a religious holiday is just incredible.

If it is a religious symbol...explain how?
To me is serves a bigger purpose for Santa...then it does for Jesus Christ.
