honestly I don't know anyone who celebrates the solstice and *doesn't* realize that since way far back it was and for some still is a religious holiday. but maybe I'm just lucky to have educated friends of all religions and none at all, and we all wish each other well on each others' holidays. and celebrate with each other might be a good idea to educate those not already in the know, have you commented on the post yet?
as for shutting the country down on any religious day, it should be scrapped. separation of church and state was one of the main points of declaring independence from Britain, and we won't have that as long as the government shows preference to any holiday of any religion. represent all, or represent none. otherwise separation of church and state and freedom of religion are nothing but jokes
