As of yet no one has forced me to celebrate any religious holiday be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish or anything else for that matter. Most of the holidays that we celebrate have morphed from the original religious holidays as a matter of convenience. The holidays you refer to are based on what were Christian Holy Days, and the American continent was settled by Europeans who were predominately Christians.

Your place of work may be closed on Christmas Day, but most employers recognize it as a paid holiday and no one forces you to decorate your house, buy a Christmas Tree or go to church. So, my "un-Christian" Christian, quit your whining and celebrate the holidays or not.
fyi The Christmas Tree was originally a pagan symbol.

DISRESPECTING what the Constitution says. UNITED STATES Government and individual States are RESPECTING ONE Religion over all the OTHER RELIGION. Satan's Christianity is favored through making Holy Sabbath Day to Honor the Catholic pagan Religion..

Amendment I

Congress shall make NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

And then you have a theocracy and that's just what the founding fathers wanted to avoid. That's why the 1st amendment is worded the way it is.

I thought you were an un-Christian.

Ponder on This. If you add the US Constitution and the Christian Religion together you have civil, criminal Laws and religious Days to Celebrate. Can you find those thing together in the past?
