No, for two reasons. 1 - I'm interested in religion and why other people believe. 2 - there's usually good food.

I see value in the social and cultural traditions, and just ignore the religious bits. If the religious bits can be skipped, I skip them. But, it's not really the end of the world.

Not at all. Holidays, weddings, and funerals are important times to commune with family and friends. I love sharing turkey dinner and taking part in conversation with my family at Thanksgiving, for instance.

No I don’t mind them. I actually adore Christmas too!! By far my favorite holiday

Most of those traditions and ceremonies existed before religion. The religious just took it over.

Its amusing how much intolerance I've found at this site. I prefer to go through life incognito, not needing to express my beliefs (or lack thereof) or argue them with strangers. Hence, I can go anywhere and people will assume I think like they do unless I advertise otherwise. I learn a lot that way.

Yes. I don't celebrate any customary days or events. I believe in showing the people in my life that I appreciate them on seeming random occasions instead of the times dictated by society. Social holidays always feel manipulative.

No I don't reject them if I have someone I care about that's getting married I'll show up to their wedding out of respect for them I celebrate Christmas but it has nothing to do with religion it has to do with love and family

Yes, for the most part I try to avoid them as much as possible. It doesn’t always work and sometimes you just have to get through the event as uncomfortable as it may be. I’m fortunate that this doesn’t really happen too often.

No, I regard them as social occasions. I hear the religious words from the priest or minister, and I’m thinking to myself.....what a load of bollocks, and feeling kind of superior for not believing it!

Ceremonies are a necessary part of human interaction. It's the spirit of the event not the message that i relate to.

Most Xtian events , holy days and rites are based on earlier religious rites.

Yes, I do.
I don't like weddings (or funerals, or most other events) for a number of reasons, only one of which is the usual pervasive religious bullshit.
I also think marriage is an antiquated social construct that benefits only lawyers and the government, so that's another reason.

No, though I do omit or ignore the religious components. I mostly see such observances as opportunities to enjoy the company of friends and family.

I think it's important to participate in cultural events, especially if they are important to both friends and family. Participation in such events also is integral part of understanding the mindset of those we disagree with. Encountering perspectives we do not understand is a good way to expand our perception of believers. This might facilitate better interaction through mutual respect and open avenues to potentially educate or inspire them to exercise skepticism and freedom of thought.

Most Religious Celebrations have their base upon Pagan Rituals and Customs. People whom initiate their own Wedding Vows, Select how they want to be honored when or during their final moments. Halloween being on the Eve of All Hallows, Mardi Gras, and just going to a Bar Mitzvah,Purim or Jewish Wedding is a fantastic celebration. The Protestant Reformation led by Martin Luther et al. was a tribute to Good German Beer Thinking.

To a certain extent, yes. Some holidays with religious roots I still celebrate, but it's secular versions of them, like Christmas, for example. It's only the religion behind it I leave behind.

Mostly. My only participationis to visit with and interact with family members.

I think you can have a wedding without invoking god. However, if it were a church wedding and I really cared about the person, I would go to the wedding even if it were held in a church, unless it was a church that expected me to yell, wave my hands in the air, or bring a dish to pass. I can't imagine a festival with a religious connection, so I'm stumped there. For me, it's more about my connection to the people involved and less about the activity itself. That being said, I would also give myself permission to get up and leave if something batshit crazy were about to happen.

I only object to whatever is shoved down my throat. It is not my place to shove anything down someone else's throat. No pun intended

X-mas became corporate over a hundred years ago, I celebrate it solely for my son.

Any excuse to celebrate life is healthy, and fun. Weddings and holidays do not have to be solemn religious occasions.
Celebrate with friends, family and positive people!
Funerals are healthy, as all grieving is a necessary part of higher thinking animals during times of loss.
Grieve freely and godlessly, no matter what the preacher might be blathering.
Failure to mourn properly often leads to depression and self medication, and failure to celebrate life makes one a grumpy old fart.

God no!! If people are having fun and enjoying their time together its a bit anal to be prissy if Jesus or Venus or any one of the pantheon are involved. Too much in the world is concerned over scruples and principles. Let it go and have a good time with Christians and Venusians and even those who profess to claim no deity at all.

I will attend weddings a funerals, but religious days are nothing more than paid days off to me.
