What Do Atheists Do with Christmas?

The other day my husband and I were at the gym and we were talking to an employee of the gym who was sharing with us a conversation he had with another customer. The customer was miffed because the gym is actually closed all day on Christmas, and this guy felt that he should be refunded the cost of his membership for that day because he was an atheist.

The gym employee asked the guy what he did for a living and asked him if the company gave him Christmas day off. The atheist answered, “Why yes, of course.”

The gym employee responded to the atheist - “Maybe you should give back the money your company is paying you for Christmas since you don’t believe in it, and it goes against your religious beliefs that God doesn’t exist.”

The atheist walked out.

And the Christian employee at this gym made a stellar point. If you’re going to be an atheist and hate the Christmas season and all things Jesus Christ, because you don’t believe in God or Jesus being God - then feel free to work on Christmas and earn the money that most companies will simply give you for the day off.

It really is that simple.
