Very interesting. Particularly the difference in the middle to upper income kids vs low income.

I tend to agree.

Same with me, I wouldn't participate unless specifically asked, otherwise I would respectfully observe.

I don't think so.

It's human nature to be judgemental. Doesn't mean it's justified. Which is why I ended my post with "who am I to judge?" I may find it off-putting to witness what seemed like someone participating in something that meant nothing to them (and I'm making a distinction between the person coming to church looking for spiritual fulfillment and one coming to church just to participate in a ritual because they think it's the thing to do) but my Christian upbringing does tell me that I have no right to judge that person. The message was: I can think what I like about how another person is celebrating a holiday but it doesn't matter. What matters is how I celebrate. But I can understand the impulse to judge.
The poster I responded to finds it insulting that people celebrate Christian holidays in a secular manner. I'm not insulted by that. But I do react to people participating in a religious ceremony when they are not religious--specifically with my own religion. The impulse to judge comes on more strongly in that situation, for me, than it does when seeing religious holidays celebrated as secular ones. So my post was not a comment on how frequently a person goes to church and how that signifies their committment to their religion. I was referring to someone who is not religious coming to church just because it's Easter. Again, I was judging that person entirely on sight, which I acknowledge. But for the purposes of conversation, I brought up that situation as something I thought was more "insulting" than the secular celebration of religious holidays.

I wasn't asking about every flag waver at a 4th of July celebration, I was asking what your intent was, as that was the example you gave.

We also celebrate Cinco de Mayo here in the midwest.

That's what I was getting at.

It's a very large thing I disagree with.
