Summary

This quote humorously captures the idea that adopting atheism might lack the sense of community and celebration typically associated with religious holidays. It suggests that the absence of religious beliefs can leave individuals without specific occasions or rituals to bond over or commemorate collectively. The statement could be interpreted as a lighthearted reflection on the human need for shared experiences and the sociocultural significance of religious festivities.

Arab nationalism in its traditional form was the way in which secular Arab Christians like Edward had found and kept a place for themselves, while simultaneously avoiding the charge of being too 'Western.' It was very noticeable among the Palestinians that the most demonstrably 'extreme' nationalists and Marxists were often from Christian backgrounds. George Habash and Nayef Hawatmeh used to be celebrated examples of this phenomenon, long before anyone had heard of the cadres of Hamas, or Islamic Jihad. There was an element of overcompensation involved, or so I came to suspect.
