1. Sorry to disappoint, but it's nonsense to suggest we want to ban Christmas

I recently finished my postgraduate at Trinity College of Music and feel embarassed that the new chaplain felt the need to misrepresent the views of nonbelievers.

While my college email account was still active, I saw that my college was peddling homeopathy and "Emotional Freedom Technique" (in which one can 'listen' to emotions with their hands!). When a couple of educated students wrote back criticising these practices, the principal promptly intervened, telling us that the issue was not up for discussion.

Polly is spot on. I wish I still had access to the college email, as I would forward this piece to all students!

I don't want to see the end of Christmas at all, and my atheist family and I look forward to celebrating it in full.
