At least not the ones that teach of the universal brotherhood of man. (And women better be included equally in there too.)

It's like when people say an atheist has no business celebrating Christmas.

How about Peace on Earth?

It's the one time of the year where armies lay down their arms. There were stories in WWI of soldiers crossing the trenches and sharing a bottle of cognac and a box of cigars and then the next day they went back at it again.

The GOAL is to make that one day happen EVERY day.
