My workplace has a list of religious holidays that they recognized as part of our cultural diversity I don't think the list below is meant to be all inclusive but it is the recognized holiday's. Darwin Day and Evolution Day are the two holidays’ that do not have a religious association. I am glad that they are listed but I feel unsatisfied with those two days. They are too similar and don’t reflect us accurately.
I do not want a day that revolves around a person. Although, Ingersoll day would make me happy. I would like a day that revolves around an idea. I want a holiday that most atheist, rationalist, and freethinkers can support. What holiday should I request be added to the list?
I do not want to hear any herding cats’ arguments. We have to get past the idea that we have to agree with every point of an idea before we can support it. Additionally, A|N and other organizations of freethinkers are proof that we can be herded.
