The thing is they don’t WANT other religions to exist and want to live in their little safe space that never challenges them. They want everyone on Earth to be a white picket fence-having standard 1950s conformist American Christian family with 2 cars, 2.5 kids, and no minorities or people that confuse and scare them. Of course, they’d get bored of that pretty quickly and if they ever got their wish they’d start tearing each other apart over which specific sect of Christianity they follow…

Technically some of those things are still religious. Santa Claus was based on Saint Nick which is Christian, he just started the Christian tradition. And the evergreens with decorations are actually pagan to celebrate the winter solstice! (Most of Christmas traditions are honestly either consumerism or pagan in origin which is odd for something supposedly a Christian holiday)

To explain the trees a little more, it was to light up the tree to ward off the dark and cold. They stayed green and unchanging in the winter which is why those specific trees were chosen for that, and the lights were symbolic to the days getting longer and warmer again. I honestly think the real meaning behind the trees is quite beautiful, but you don’t need to chop the tree down to do any of those things!

And they really couldn't handle that Jesus was a brown man who never meant for any of them to act like animals and be filled with hate. They'll lose in the end.

Okay I just learned a little more of the lore on why Christmas is so pagan 😂 it’s because of Constantine (4th century) when he made Christianity their official religion they changed the date of Christ’s birth to be celebrated at the same time as their existing pagan holidays and so they could keep their traditions and rituals while bringing in Christianity so the people wouldn’t be upset about the change in religion. They didn’t really celebrate Jesus’s birth until then interestingly enough

Technically Christianity is considered a pagan religion (I don’t remember why bc I’m 1/2 asleep) but yea! I’m thinking it has something to do w the communion and the the ones considered not pagan (back when it first became a religion) was mainly just Catholicism !
