Atheist Holidays solved

I thought about it and I have the solution.

Weekends are now officially atheist holidays.

All weekends, except for those that coincide with religious holidays. Wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes.

I like this solution because it gives to atheists more holidays (defined as non-work days) than any religion, which seems just. As for rituals associated with our holidays, I submit that they already exist: movies, parties, gaming,  dining, dancing, drinking, hanging out, going out, freaking out. In short, being human. What better way for atheists to celebrate?
