Oh god! i forgot about the pilgrims. i too am an athiest. look at it this way, thanksgiving reminds us that this country was started by puritans. As ggreg Proops put it, "People who were so uptight and religious, ENGLAND kicked them out."
No offense to our british freinds here, but you have to agree, england did have a reputation for stuffines back in the day.
They started the country, so they are directly responsible for the bible belt and everything evil in this nation. there. i said it.
I still like turkey. And stuffing. And buiscuits. and Shrimp toast. (our own little tradition)
