"I want candy" has nothing to do with any beliefs or the lack of. So, hell yeah....trick or treat?

Samhain, a feast for the end of the harvest and the door to winter. An actual tangible change of seasons. What's supernatural about that ?
Plus of course, knowing the dead can break through the veil for that one night......!

Depends on what you mean by celebrate, i.e. In christmas, for example, I am not opposed to gift giving or family gatherings, these are part of tradition and customs now, I do not pray or say anything religious whatsoever, why should halloween be different? There's nothing religious in going to parties dressed as cowboys or doctors, nor is it giving candy to kids, is there?

As a low income introvert all the money grabbing commercial holidays annoy me. My youngest is in middle school this year and for the first year in 15 I think I'm just not playing .

Since Halloween is a secular holiday, why not?

Like Christmas it is an excuse for retailers to sell useless rubbish to the gullible public.
I was really surprised in my visits to the US how seriously adults take halloween with virtually every garden full of witches,ghosts etc.
In the UK kids went "guising" carrying a "neep lantern" and that was it, but .like all things tacky "trick or treating" is being adopted here.
Bah humbug

Hell yes, celebrate the holiday just to have fun!

It's just another reason to celebrate. We do it at all the season changes. Religion co-opted our right to party.

Just go and have fun, if you will question every religious derived name, you will start having problems with the days of the week, with the months of the year, with street and city names, symbols, profession names etc.
Religion is part of the culture, and the folklore, there will always be something here and there even after the religion as a cult is dead.
So just enjoy and have fun.

If you need to calm down your antitheist core, think about the translation to portuguese where it is called witches day, and be happy in memory of the wise women that were killed because of their knowledge XD.

It's basically a holiday that celebrates giving away candy, scaring the snot out of little children, & lurking in the bushes with a garden hose to drench any kid that looks like he has intentions of egging or toilet papering your house. Why not join in?

Hell yeah! It's a great time to dress up in wacky costumes, drink lot's of booze, and party all night. Objectors are to be banned from the beer tap!!!

I do to some degree. Its fun, nothing more.

Regardless of what Halloween may have once been long ago, it is now a celebration of horror, There is nothing religious about it whatsoever.

So hell , yes, let's have some fun. It's a great holiday.

One of my favorite holidays! It has clear origins in pagan traditions. Plus, chocolate!

You are should-ing all over us. If you have kids, sure.

Halloween started out as a religious holiday (a Celtic one), but it is now basically a secular holiday. I can't think of anyone I know who takes it seriously. I didn't even take it seriously when I was a kid.

When we were kids we enjoyed Halloween and, even though my dad was a Catholic convert, there was no mention of religion. Just like yoga has nothing to do with religion some holidays don't either.

For me it is marking the seasons. Living in the northern hemisphere halloween is about marking a harvest, saying goodbye to summer, and preparing myself for winter.

I’ve never equated Halloween as a religious holiday. It’s a time for people (mostly kids) to to dress up and have fun while collecting lots of sweets. Why would you not want to participate?

Yes. They should celebrate Halloween, because it's fun.

The most celebrated Irish holiday worldwide. @Tilia is correct.old beliefs and customs that predate xians and other religions. The changing of the seasons and remembering the dead. Lost forever is the original meaning , an echo left down the years ,the celebration of life and death.

Yes, absolutely. One of the fun festivals. Why not celebrate all the saints days individually if you want to. Raising objections to them is the same as JW!

Yes. it is a lot of fun.

It's a pagan holiday, so why not? Celebrate the good harvest and all.

can't believe all the responses which such a dumb, inane question elicited.
