It doesn't matter what you do and don't believe in. We're all a little Pagan. If you don't like it and you celebrate Christmas, don't decorate your Christmas Tree. That's a Pagan Ritual from Yule (basically winter). They decorate those kind of trees with ornaments resembling life to remind the trees about life so they come back to life after winter. We now know, of course, this is a natural occurence in nature that can be obtained without little decorative reminders ^^

Don't use medicine, especially those with herbs just to calm a stressed person down and such. That comes from Pagan days too.

Everything comes from a Pagan society somehow it seems. Yeah, you have different religions: Christianity, Baptism, Catholocism, a lot of different religions that seem the same, then you have Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. You'd still be surprised by how far our whole society is based off of old principles without us knowing.

In America, (I don't know who's from where on this forum) we have a 180 day school year. Why? Agricultural purposes from the past. It was more convenient for children to go to school but have the summer off to help the family harvest. We still have this typical school year.

Why do we have school? Well, everyone needed to know how to read at least a LITTLE bit so they could read the Bible. America would have never had schools (at least when it did) if it wasn';t for the religious influences of the days of old. Now we mostly seperate religion and education (or attempt to in some cases) but we wouldn't have what we do have now if it wasn't for the fact that it ocne wasn't seperated.

Why does American currency still say, "In God We Trust"? Well, whether you bbelieve in God or not, isn't really important. It's a historical fact that the forefathers were creating, what they called, a nation under God. Can you blame them though? I mean, they were in BIG trouble when it came time to seperate from Britain. They were taking HUGE risks in becoming their own country so they had to look somewhere for hope. It may have been successful but it was a very scary situation.
