Interesting piece about what some agnostics do and think around Christmastime. Timely around the holidays. Not a rejoiceful piece, but it doesn't rip on Christians, either. I found the sections about the origins of the Christmas holiday and the strange timing to be the best part.
Yeah, I've never heard from Agnostics at Christmastime. You don't hear about them generally. And why not? Something that most mainstream news organizations wouldn't touch in a million years.
Public radio is supposed to offer an alternative to what is broadcast on commercial stations. This piece certainly qualifies. Bravo to "Western Skies" and Molly Adams for looking into how agnostics and atheists feel about Chistmas. It is so rare for their voice to be heard, even on public radio. This is strange, considering that the high educational level of the public radio audience is bound to include many people in this group. That being said, Molly Adams didn't show much energy, and the interviews didn't provide much depth to the subject. But I was glad to see the topic handled at all. Nice local piece.
