The Non-prophets

Atheist Christmas Greetings from this week’s host Johnny, Cynthia, Nate, and Jason as they open the show with a history lesson on the cultural and commercial phenomenon of the winter celebrations. The hosts discuss the holiday blues in the time of COVID, which for some can be the loneliest time of the year. In the final segment, the Little Drummer Boy beats his drum to the tune of Christian Conservatives being frantic about the so-called War on Christmas. It’s the most unholy time of the year!Articles DiscussedSegment 1: History of Xmas and Winter CelebrationsMain Article: “History of Christmas”http://tiny.cc/historyxmas Additional References:“Winter Solstice Celebrations” http://tiny.cc/winsolcel“Roman Festival of Sol Invictus” https://www.thecolchesterarchaeologis... “Weirdest Christmas Traditions” http://tiny.cc/weirdxmas Segment 2: Xmas in the Time of COVIDMain Article: “COVID Concerns During Christmas” http://tiny.cc/covidxmas Segment 3: Holiday BluesMain Article: “Putting Mental Health First” http://t
