Thanksgiving isn't religious. It never started out as religious, never was religious, and still isn't religious.

Points why it isn't:

-If it was religious, why is it an AMERICAN holiday? Religions are practiced all around the world, and yet only America celebrates it.

-There are more than one religions practiced in America, if Thanksgiving was in fact at any point a religious holiday, why is it that people of ALL RELIGIONS celebrate it?

-If Thanksgiving was a holiday to give thanks to God, why do people who still are polytheistic (believe in more than one God) celebrate it?

-If it is/was a religious holiday, then what is with the entire background story of the pilgrims and the indians and that big feast? From what I can tell that has nothing to do with religion.

Face it, Thanksgiving is as much religious as a poor person owning a Rolex...

And by you saying "OMg why do you celebrate it if your not religious that makes you selfish" that won't only piss of the people who are religious, it will also piss everyone else off into thinking you're an ungrateful prick.
