Fuck yeah! It's the only holiday worth celebrating.

Hell yes! I guess you haven't seen my group..."I Love Halloween!" Group

You do you! I've been an atheist my whole life and I still go all in for christmas and halloween. I don't like easter traditions so I don't bother with them (although i've entertained the idea of a treat hunt for the dogs). Holidays are whatever you make them. If you want to ignore it, that's awesome too.

Isn’t Halloween another holiday that that religion tried to steal from pagans? I celebrate the original intent.

I can read Tolkein without believing in elves. I can watch Doctor Who without believing that time is a ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey... stuff. Why do I have to believe in ghosts and vampires to celebrate Halloween?

There is nothing wrong with an atheist observing Halloween or even Christmas for that matter. They have morphed from religious holidays into folk festivals. Ask any little kid what Easter, Christmas, and Halloween are about and they will tell you, "the Easter Bunny and candy, Santa Claus and presents, and wearing a costume and candy. No need for an atheist to be anal about such folk festivals.

Most would as most celebrate Christmas too, or at least the giving or exchanging presents.

It's a well known atheistic ritual founded on our "Faith" of Evolution.. it's the best season and astrological day to eat all of the babies.. yes pumpkin spiced babies.. deliciousness.. #sarcasm..

Actually, Halloween, or All Hallows Eve, began well before xtianity...

Scary movies - costumes - dressing up - fun for adults and kids, candy and decorations with choice as to whether you opt in or out. What's not to like?

It's just engaging your creativity not your belief system.

The only part that was religious (when I was forced to attend Mass) - was All Souls Day - November 1st - you went to a Catholic Mass on that Day.

Halloween has zero to do with Christian religion and a ton to do with old superstition and some Wiccan beliefs. (Pagan Beliefs - etc.).

I'm good with all of that. I hope I never get too stuffy for it.

It's psychologically useful for people to get outside of themselves every once in a while.

It’s more an American thing, although it has partially migrated... its still not so popular all over the world.

Hell yes! Let's egg another church!

Of course I don’t acknowledge the existence of any of that nonsense but like Xmas and thanksgiving, it’s more tradition. For Halloween, I go to a gala at The Museum of Natural History.

Halloween is the Celtic celebration of Samhainn so, a pagan celebration

Sure, it's fun. I like Christmas lights and l will eat an Easter egg. The things l enjoy on these holidays have nothing to do with religion.

How can you ignore free candy?

When I was a kid, halloween wasn't observed in my country. But american consumerism wasn't going to allow an untapped market so some years back we started adopting it. When my kids were little it was fun to see their delight. I have no interest in it now.

So, pretend to be someone you’re not and potentially scare the shit out of someone? Why the fuck not??

Not a fan but it doesn't have to be a religious or superstitious holiday. It also doesn't have to be diabetic inducing. It can just be a good excuse to dress up like a slutty or scary whatever. Raise your freak flag.

I observe it by turning off all the lights and hiding in the back.

I can take it or leave it.
Costume parties used to be a lot of fun.
Now, it's mostly just for the kids. Like christmas.

It's been a logn time sine Halloween has any kind of religious context , even if its originas may have originally been religious and/or superstitious. Now it is just fun and games.

So dress up, and do the Time Warp...

Halloween isn't a Christian celebration. You van be an anti theist and still be religious. You can worship nature.

Hell, I love Christmas.
