Kinda my take on it.
The only aspect of Christmas that’s inherently Christian is the fact that it has ‘Christ’ in the name.
When I was young it was a bit different- we’d pray on Christmas, have a themed tree, a little nativity scene setup. That sort of thing. I don’t do that anymore. Christmas is as religious to me as Valentines day, my birthday, Saint Patrick’s day, and Thanksgiving. It’s more a cultural event than a religious one, is what I’m getting at.
If anyone wants a further example of “Christmas but not even slightly Christian”, try watching a few Christmas movies. A lot of them aren’t particularly religious. I recently saw Violent Night, it’s an excellent example lol.
I don’t know much about him, honestly, but I think it’s Che Guevara. Wikipedia can tell you more than me.
