Have you read the Harry Potter series? You have any evidence from the books that actually refute what I'm saying? Elfwreck also disagreed with my assertions, but he made references to the text.

Indeed, they were pagan prior to being Christian. I heard a radio host going through the history of Christmas, and it's bounced around quite a lot in terms of defining tradition.

And we are kind of in the midst of another "bounce" so to speak. There has been a recent transition toward secularization. Also, I believe paganism is its own religion. I don't think pagan is the same as secular, which is non-religious.
