      Nepal is a secular country. It was a hindu nation, and still is hindu majority. But most new generation are secular-hindu, as in hindu culture but not religious. Similar to how someone might celebrate Christmas but not do religious things associated with it

          I’m not debating the origin. If you’re buying a bunch of gifts, wrapping it in, putting them under a tree, you’re technically celebrating Christmas.

          If you have some other celebrations or gatherings on the same day, then yeah it’s not Christmas

          Ok. But in the context of what is being discussed is what you’re saying helpful or did you just want to show the class how smart you are?

              Which other religions currently practice Christmas?

              Better yet which culture isn’t borrowing heavily from the ones who came before them?

              Which religions great flood was the real one, which version of saturnalia or Yule is the right one?
