Except
atheists don't need a special day to be nice to other people. We do it because we want to, not to avoid going to hell.

That may well be a fair enough point.
if it weren't for the fact that you are implying that all atheists are nice. They aren't.
Exactly the same way that not all Christians are nice people.

Neither do Christians
Those who follow Jesus' words are likely to be nice to other people all year round too. It's never said that Christians should only be nice to people on Christmas day, more the whole year round. It's only the fucking idiots who take it too far and start being cunts.
I think your view of Christians is rather influenced by the extremities. I'm not one (don't believe in God) but I do think Jesus' teachings set a good example.
Does anyone not think it's a bit off of Dawkins to enjoy singing Carols? I can see why Atheists enjoy Christmas day, but surely singing Carols is a bit off for an atheist?
