Hey, everybody! Hi, friends! Well, from beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. It's Thank God I'm Atheist, the podcast. I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beecher.

And coming up on the show, we're going to be talking about the really sad fact that over 70% of human beings on this earth, whole planet, living countries that discriminate, severely discriminate against the non-religious.

So, wow! That's a sobering thought for you. And guess what? You might feel like it's the United States sometimes.

Yeah. And I...

And we are doing this podcast. Exactly.

All right. But first Dan, Christmas just happened. Just happened, everybody.

Well, for these guys, for listeners, it's just that.

Well, for us, it's still before Christmas. But I have an article here that made me sort of giggle because it points out that this year Christmas falls on Sunday.

Sure. And what are all the churches going to do that are worried about attendance?

What? Well, because people want to be at home opening their Christmas gifts.

I thought Christmas was like the one time people actually go to church, apparently if you're Catholic.

No. If you are Protestant in this country, there is a chance that your church will just be closed this Christmas or that it was closed.

Oh, Jesus, I want to be with my kids.

Yeah. No, seriously. And like the pastors are like, they're like, well, you know, like we...

The last time this happened was in 2016 and like nobody showed up. So what's the point? Right?

I'm not exaggerating to hear.

Let's see. It says, yeah, Christmas is considered by most Christians to be the second most significant religious holiday of the year.

Wait, what? Second most?

Easter is the most.

Oh, man, in my life, that shit would never have flown. When I was a religious guy, like, no, no, it's Christmas all the way.

That's because Mormons don't really get Easter.

That's true. Mormons are... Mormons really don't.
