"The word â€˜holidayâ€™ comes from â€˜holy dayâ€™ and holy means â€˜exalted and worthy of complete devotion.â€™ By that definition, all days are holy. Life is holy. Atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. We have the wonder and glory of life. We have joy in the world before the lord is come. Weâ€™re not going for the promise of life after death; weâ€™re celebrating life before deathâ€¦For atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. Every day is an atheist holiday. Itâ€™s a day that weâ€™re alive."

-- Penn Jillette
