Do atheists observe Halloween?
Since, most don't believe in ghosts and other silly stuff that goes along with the holiday. Do we still observe some of it for the children. I rather ignore it like the rest of the religious holidays.

@FatherOfNyx Congratulations!!!!
@FatherOfNyx Well now you're going to walk funny. rofl

@phxbillcee You know, sometimes I like to leave the lines for other people.
I know I'm not the only smartass in the room.
Besides, the Gator game was on and I was distracted.
Bite me. 
@KKGator Mark out a spot, baby!
@FatherOfNyx Good for you. I finally level 7 last Thursday.
@phxbillcee Sometimes a line MUST be picked up. It would have been criminal to step over that one.
Costumes and candy and parties. Yes these are all great and fun things. But, (believing) in some supersticious nonsense is just a bunch of good old woo woo. I say, just enjoy the ride and have fun.

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

I think your right that the religious fools took it for there own.
Well, I think it would be more accurate to say one religion stole it from another religion.
See my comment above
I observe it by turning off all the lights and hiding in the back.

I only had one or two kids stop at my house anyway and I can't have candy in my house. Buying candy for the few people that would stop by makes no sense, so I just pretend I'm not there.
It's my second favorite day of the year. My disbelief has no affect on my love of dressing up in costumes, or loving the macabre decorations... It's the one day of the year you get to pretend to be whomever or whatever you want and nobody gives you a bunch of crap for it... Just candy. You get candy for being someone else for the day... Win win.

Personally I think it's a stupid commercialised american festival that has no relevance to me, but is becoming increasingly more popular here in the UK.
I blame Wes Craven.....
