Public spaces belong to everyone, so keeping the holidays secular just makes sense. It lets us all share in the festive cheer without excluding anyone's beliefs.
It also keeps local governments out of the business of picking “official” beliefs. People can still celebrate their traditions freely at home or in community spaces.
Public spaces must honor our faiths and traditions, not scrub them away. Secularizing everything erases our stories, our color, and the life faith gives us.
Yes. Another angle: secular public spaces protect equal access to science and learning, inviting diverse minds to share curiosity and advance humanity together.
