But if religion goes, then all the religious holidays go too. Where I live (North-Rhine Westfalia, Germany), that’s 8 days less off every year! I’m an atheist myself, but I do enjoy the time off.
Eh religious holidays can easily change in meaning - my country is mostly irreligious and we celebrate christmas by having barbecues outside and visiting the beach, despite it originally being a pagan ceremony celebrating the passing of winter solstice!
