Unless you're specifically referring to the non-religious parts of Christian holidays (Santa Claus / Easter Bunny, etc.), I do find it interesting to learn that Christian tenets were taught as "fairy tales" by a religion that professes to believe in an incorporeal God. I'm wondering what the threshold is to reach the "fairy tale" bar. Obviously, a supernatural deity doesn't make the cut.
