    I have no problem with people celebrating the holiday. I’ll be going to a small party with friends. That does not change that this is ostensibly what Independence Day is about.

      Yeah I get it. But I think most holidays have a large separation from the actual origins.

      I’m atheist and will happily celebrate Christmas and Easter.

        I’m the same way. I understand what you mean about being critical towards harmless things people enjoy, because usually it includes shitting on the people enjoying themselves. I try to maintain a degree of separation between that thing and the people that enjoy it
