the establishment clause of the first amendment says "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof"
therefore, christmas as an official holiday is unconstitutional

I guess it's because The United States was built as a Christian nation, and over time, the meaning of Christmas has changed. To some like me, it still signifies the birth of Jesus, and gift exchange, but to others, it is only gift exchange, which sort of neutralizes the holiday nowadays. |

"The United States was built as a Christian nation"

If you look back, the time period, 1700's was very strict and colonial. When the English immigrated, the majority were religious. So, ancestry passes down those beliefs. If you look at the pledge, it states America is "One nation under God", which signifies the spiritual roots. |

the "Under God" part was added to counter soviet atheists during the cold war

The States' was brought up as a Christian Country, get over it. Also, its hillarious when i hear about these athiests complaining about "One nation under God" in the pledge, saying that it should be removed.

Which can show how America's people held spiritual beliefs, thus encouraging "Under God" to be added. It's really a sgn of faith and Patriotism. |
