Others argue that Christmas Day is not really a Christian celebration. I disagree with all those views. Millions of non-Christians in this nation do not and can not honor the Christian celebrations of the birth of Jesus Christ and the arrival of Santa Claus. Non-Christians have the need and the right to be free from government competition and contradiction in matters of belief essential to their identity. A more perfect union is formed when all individuals are provided equality of belief under the law.
Belief systems are an essential and natural characteristic of any individual.
Burdening a person's belief system, directly or indirectly, harms that person. Requiring a non-Christian to fund and then to ignore government endorsement of Christian beliefs is a violation of the separation of church and state, equal protection, and freedom of association. Sectarian preference by the government, however, impeaches the aspiration of a more perfect union. Christians and non-Christians both benefit by eliminating the government preference for Christianity. Non-Christians benefit from the equal legal status for their beliefs.
