well devout atheist that i am, i think of it as a 'hurray the nights are drawing out now' sort of celebration anyway.

so i suppose, yes.

Not renamed because to Christians it is Christmas.

But non religious people should celebrate it as a Winter Festival. You don't get non Jews having Bar Mitzvah's do you.

Most of us no longer worship the moon or sun, yet we still call the first and last days of the week "Monday" and "Sunday". Likewise I see no reason to rename Christmas just because its no longer a Christ worshipping event for many (most?) of us.
