How about a secular holiday good wish?

On this day the Christians make a big deal about as the purported birthday of Jesus, the Gadfly would like to offer a secular holiday good wish to all those on the planet.
It's too bad the Christians aren't willing to admit that Jesus' real birthday probably wasn't December 25th, and that this date was probably pulled from pagan origins. Another inconvenient truth to those delusional with faith.
Anyway, those of use secularists should look at the basic values of caring for others, goodwill towards fellow men on this planet as goals to strive for, without an imaginary supernatural being dictating such efforts.
Recent polls suggest that those who are losing their religion are the fastest growing population in the United States. It would be wonderful if those of us faithless could band together to show how secular humanism can change the world, without having to resort to magical thinking.
Good day and happy December 25th, secular Gadfly readers.
