You made me realize I've been having dissonance with my atheism and love of Christmas iconography.

Oh? Yeah I've always found it strange... I love gospel music and have a strange fascination with finding nuns adorable lol not in a fetish way but more awww. Even though I know that most people's real life interactions with them haven't been pleasant. My husband was raised Catholic and everything about it fascinates me. I went to a funeral once (someone I didn't know) and just had to contain my excitement over seeing a catholic church. It's so fucking weird lol

Most Christmas iconography is older then Christianity.

Celebration of the dark ending is as old as agriculture.

As is kiling people on a cross.
