text: There are demands right in this thread that we abandon the weekend (Saturday and Sunday off) because it is based on the Bible, and you just spoke as if it is something shameful to "admit" that our society is based on Christian cultural traditions, as if this is somehow reprehensible and all vestiges of such heritage be eliminated in order to be "fair" or "secular". Why is it that? Why should our society abandon its traditions of Christmas and Easter holidays because they are supposedly "offensive" to some tiny minority? 
  
  Our public schools, as well as our public institutions, have gone very quickly from officially Christian to officially secular and neutral, with expressions of Christian beliefs being officially repressed as much as possible. Many people felt very offended by that, as one can see in the comments, so turning around and officially welcoming another, more aggressive religion is rubbing salt in the wound.
