7. I guess...
I think that any thankfulness -to whomever, for whatever- is always good for you because it requires introspection and a sense of wonder about belonging to a larger group of people who helped you to become the person you are today.

The semantics are unimportant to me. Whether I am thankful to God that these people were created or thankful to Evolution that they randomly came into being, I am still appreciating them.

Appreciating others and being thankful they are here is what's really important about Thanksgiving.
