Too many people feel left out of Christmas celebrations due to their own faith – or lack of it – so the traditional Christian season should be downplayed, a UK-based diversity lobby group said.
The call comes after statistics showed less than half of the population of England and Wales described themselves as Christian in the 2021 census, meaning Christianity is now a minority religion, as Breitbart News reported.
Both atheism and Islam are making major gains as more people reportedly feel left out as a “heavy emphasis on celebrating the birth of Jesus,” can exclude others, according to Watch This Sp_ce, a self-described diversity and inclusion consultancy.

Feeling left out? Too bad. Your responsible for your own state of mind. Valentines Day will be here soon enough and you can whine about that.

Globalism’s going worldwide theses days. Remove all cultural celebrations, religions and traditions. They have already erased the borders. So as Michael Savage has said for decades, it’s takes borders, language and culture to have a country. Soon they will have met their goal, one world government run by whom? Klaus Schwab ? Soros ? You tell me!

There are no persons who feel left out of Christmas. One can participate or not according to personal preference. Those who don’t participate are not hurt. The tyrants who want to eliminate Christmas are not comprised of people who are uncomfortable or feel left out. Such people don’t exist. The people who want Christmas cancelled are those who hate western culture in all its aspects.

Unfortunately by allowing uncontrolled mass illegal immigration from the Islamic World, and generally the third world the UK is handing over their country, culture, and traditions to foreign ideologies, and peoples. History shows that the UK will quickly figure that out after the domestic and foreign origin Muslim population of the UK passes 10%.

A few years ago, visiting Nuremburg, Germany, there was a controversy as non-Christian groups demanded a diminishment of Christmas symbols, such as the Christkindlsmarkt and city light standard decorations. It made them "uncomfortable". And the city was actually considering ways to make them more comfortable in the city that symbolizes Christmas to Germans and others around the world. Oh, and now the news that Christians are less than half the population of the UK.

Western Europe is allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal Muslim immigrants into their countries and then declaring Christianity a ‘minority religion’. Coincidence? I think not. People who celebrate Ramadan do not make me feel left out. I could not care less and neither could the culture warriors. It’s never mentioned.

Muslims are FAR more important than Christians, clearly.

UK Satanic Group calls for ignoring the birth of Christ Jesus. You deny Him before man and He will deny you before the Father. Get your asbestos bathing suit on and ready for a swim in the Lake of Fire and a trip down the Bottomless Pit.

Why did we even fight World War II? If western European democracies are voluntarily turning themselves into Marxist, secular, totalitarian, hellhole’s, we wasted an awful lot of lives and money liberating Europe.

Just know these jerks have absolutely no intention of giving up their holidays. It's all one-sided. These types of discussions are always dishonest.

"Non-Christians" can move back to Pakistan, India and Africa if they don't like Christmas.

I feel completely left out of Ramadan and would like to know why Muslims don’t do more to make me feel welcome. After all, I had an Arabian mare, doesn’t that count for something?

I wonder if all of those who are so offended by Christmas celebrated Halloween a month ago. Do they not know that Halloween (All Hallows’ Eve - the night before All Souls Day) is not only a Christian holy day but a Catholic holy day?

Forgot to add - all of those non-Christians in the UK are perfectly welcome to return to whatever third world cess pool they crawled out of if they don’t like Christmas.

They will do anything to eliminate Christ! They have to! If we worship Him, we will never worship them! Christ is my Lord and Redeemer! They offer nothing but slavery!

Rethink that "diversity" thing. (Hint, erasing religions is coercive, not inclusive.)
Fallen human nature -- we're too clever for our own good, but not half as smart as we think.

Why is it that we are always expected to adapt our way of life to appease foreigners who immigrate to mostly Christian based countries? You never see a Muslim nation folding their beliefs for others. If they wish to come her they must learn to adapt to our way of life just like we are expected to adapt to theirs if we go to their country.

If you don't celebrate Christmas, make sure your behind shows up for work on Christmas Day. I lived in a Muslim country, and even they celebrated Christmas. Get outta here with that! It's just another way to rape and pillage our culture. I suggested that my Ops department do a Twelve Days Ops Christmas and give gifts to our team each day. Another team member suggested that we couldn't refer to it as Christmas. No Christmas, no gifts. Stop!

I'm a non-Christian and have no bad feeling about Christmas at all. Quit assuming everyone is such a pansy.

Any "diversity group" that seeks to eliminate perhaps their host country's largest cultural and religious event should self-correct and set up housekeeping elsewhere. Accommodating other minority cultures should not force cultural suicide on the majority. I read an article today about the Charlie Brown Christmas Special. It appears that the network sponsoring the special strongly objected to the core of Charles Schultz's inclusion of Linus reciting Luke's annunciation to the shepherds in answer to Charlie Brown asking, "Does anybody know what Christmas is all about?" Schultz was OK with cancelling the whole special before he'd cancel Linus, so the network, CBS, reluctantly allowed it and America loved it. In contrast, back in the '90s, while working at DFW Airport, I noticed that a large group of Muslim immigrants from the ME who worked shift work in various capacities, offered each year to swap shifts with those who celebrated Christmas but were scheduled to work on Christmas Eve or Day. It seems that they not only appreciated their new hosts and host country, they went out of their way to be accepted by them and to do their part. I've never forgotten their generosity and it made me careful not to tar with a wide brush. One well educated guy who was from Pakistan became a US citizen, joined the police force, then changed his name. I'll never forget Officer Muscleman either. He not only became an American, but he had the work ethic of some of the Hispanic officers whose families had been in Texas for around 175 years, guys you liked seeing roll up for cover on a felony stop or a call for back-up.

Define uncomfortable. If it means, you don't agree, that's not good enough.
I don't agree with lots of things. That does not give me the right to dictate terms.
