God or Not - Ep 010: The Christmas Episode

Merry Christmas! I mean Happy Holidays, er Festivus for the rest of us!… Christmas has traditionally been a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, or has it? Is Christmas pagan? Does it matter? Can an atheist celebrate Christmas or are they too busy waging war on the rest of us who just want to celebrate in peace?

In "The Crowd Goes Wild", Jamie addresses some listener feedback.

As further study Scott recommends the book “The Atheist's Guide to Christmas” edited by Robin Marvie and Stephanie Meyers, and Jamie recommends the book “Hijacking the Historical Jesus” by Phil Fernandes.

The jolly fellows also discuss some upcoming plans for the podcast, including a God or Not Book Club?
