Is Making Christmas a federal holiday considered going against seperation of church and state

Question

Why not make Ramadam or Yom Kippur a federal holiday??

Answer 1

It's funny how libs always complain about seperation of church and state but they all accept their christmas bonous without a word.

Answer 2

Excellent point...so true

Answer 3

Not anymore since Christmas is just another consumer holiday. The Godless ways of making money.

Answer 4

Dude, federal employees already dont do ****, you want them to have even MORE days off for every single religous days and everything else.

Think about it, post offices, the dmv, etc. all woudl be closed on all of these days!

Answer 5

The u.s. has avoided that by declaring a winter holiday on Dec. 25th.  The law declaring the holiday makes no reference to christmas.  If next year the pope and every other religious leader declares that the proper day to celebrate the birth of christ is now November 12, the winter holiday will still be Dec. 25.  BTW, there is no reason at all to believe that jesus was born on Dec. 25.  Most theologians and historians figure it was in the spring.

Answer 6

The is NO such thing a separation between church and state in the Constitution. It only says the congress shall make no law establishing religion. That is it, period. Another liberal lie.  

Answer 7

In the minds of fools, it is.

Why not?  Because this nation was built on CHRISTIAN values.  Ramadan and Yom Kippur are not historically significant in this country.

And separation of church and state is NOT in the Consititution.  It is a misinterpretation of the Constitution.

Answer 8

seperation of church and state was intended for financial reasons and administrative reasons in our constitution. This country was founded as a christian state and was never intended to seperate itself from christianity. overpaid scholars caused that seperation . Do we not remember "one nation under god" or "in god we trust" **** allah , and remember the alamo

Answer 9

yes it is going against it. Christmas is about the birth of jesus, somewhere along the way it turned into Santa.  

Answer 10

This country was founded on Christian values. If you don't like it, move to Israel, of Saudi Arabia.

Answer 11

my opinion since gradeschool is that it was indeed government support of religion

Gvt should work without scheduled holidays, just like any (most) other businesses

Answer 12

There is no such thing as separation of church and state.

Answer 13

It sure is.  Probably Thanksgiving, too.

Answer 14
