…i’m down for cancelling f*cking christmas; federal holidays should be secular…

As a Pagan, if you want federal holidays to be secular then solstices and equinoxes couldn’t be counted. Many Pagans (not all) observe them as holy days along with Feb 1-2 (Imbolc), May 1 (Bealtaine - there are multiple spellings this one), August 1 (Lammas/Lughnasadh), and Halloween (Samhain). And I’m sure Pagans that celebrate non-European traditions have other days, I just can’t speak to them personally.

Secular doesn’t mean pagan.

Secular refers to things not religious or spiritual. Those days are religious holidays in various forms of Paganism which is an umbrella term for a set of religions/spiritual practices. If anybody wants truly non-secular holidays the equinoxes and solstices shouldn’t be included in that list.
