I don't celebrate Thanksgiving as a religious holiday, I celebrate in
as an exercise in food materialism.
And they why do you deny the same freedom to others to take what
they want from religious traditions and use it in a secular way?
It's not a valid comparison, unless of course you're deliberately
trying to establish a straw man.
And of course, TM is not secular, it's only secular through either 1.
deceit or 2. ignorance that it is ever allowed in schools.
And of course Thanksgiving is celebrated at home.
