I would argue that ALL Christian holidays are in fact relics of earlier
pagan
festivals...there is not a one that didn't adopt pre-existing rituals and
traditions of the previous pagan/heathen religion....

Religious freedom applies to Satanists, too...if a Satanist (or a follower
of
any religion) breaks a law in the name of their religion, then utilize the
LAW
to prosecute that person. But the state has no right to usurp a law-abiding
citizen's rights just because certain representatives of the state dislike
that
citizen's religion.
If you allow the state to deprive a Satanist of their livelihood because of
the
hype certain Satanists (or those who utilize the label for the shock value
but
in reality know little of the actual religion) receive because of their
acts,
then you open the door to having Muslims fired because certain Muslims are
terrorists, or to firing fundamentalist Christians because some
fundamentalist
Christians advocate treason...
