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

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

It's an excuse to get drunk, eat bad shit and dress silly. Why the hell wouldn't we summon demons once a year?

I use to boycott holidays when I first became an atheist, but then I realized I'm not going to let someone else's delusion or POV dictate how I live and enjoy life.

Kids may say if I step on a crack, I break my mother's back. That doesn't mean I spend the rest of my life intentionally watching every step I take b/c of some absurd belief. If you want to boycott...go ahead. If you want to participate and enjoy them for the secular holidays they have become...then I also say go ahead.

It has no real historical history behind it. I see it as a way for people to make some good money with seasonal stores.

Boo!

I consider it to be a secular holiday for most these days. It's fun. So, yes, I enjoy Halloween.

Hell !
Free candy

I've never been much on samhain or the Catholic church changing the day -- but I enjoy the children dressed up as they want and giving out candy. I don't celebrate and of the deities surrounding the day. It's like April 1st -- has no value except for fun.

I participate in whatever holidays are upon us in myriad ways -- all except for the religious aspects -- whenever I feel like it. Trick-or-treating was fun when I was a kid, and I think my daughter enjoyed it when she was a kid. Sure, it's silly. But, fun, friends, family and gatherings are good silly.

Hell yes.

Halloween is my favorite holiday

I don't care for it much now other than that it's in the fall and the fall is my favorite season. I like the movies on tv during October because of Halloween. I used to like it as a kid because of candy and chocolate. I went to an adult Halloween party a few years ago as the Gingerbread Man. Other than that, I don't care much. It can be fun though.

It's a great excuse for breaking your diet and eating candy.

I love holidays even chrismas its more about family and friends than anything else.
But yes i love Halloween I love candy, dressing up, spooky stuff, and of course how happy it makes the kids. But I aslo love it out of spite bc my overly religious mother wouldn't let me celebrate as a kid because it was "the devils birthday".

All that candy and decorating. How can I say no?

Halloween, as it is practiced in the USA, is not very religious. Most view it as a chance to party and wear a costume. Of course kids enjoy dressing up for candy as well.

We aren't a monolith. Some do and some don't.

I like celebrations... period. Halloween is my favorite because it is silly, fun and can be made non-religious if you leave out certain aspects. Just because I don't believe in any religion or the existence of god doesn't mean I don't believe in living life joyously... being silly is part of that.

mmmm candy, pumpkin, monsters, witches, black cats, goblins, ghosts....YAY!

I love halloween. My favorite holiday.

If you take the religion out, holidays are just fun.

This one does!

Nothing religous about Halloween so why not.

Why not? Parents and kids dress up and canvass their neighborhood to get free sh-t. It's not more complicated than that - doesn't need to be and so yeah, I observe it with my grand daughters.

I once observed small children that were too scared to come up to the door because we made a pretty scary front yard.

It's my favorite holiday!
