Merry Christmas everyone! In this very special episode of ‘I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist’, Frank shares his personal thoughts and experiences from his time at America Fest 2025 last weekend, including who he met for the first time, what’s coming next for TPUSA, and what new guests you might be seeing on the podcast soon!
Then, we share a “blast from the past” fan-favorite episode with the great Bill Federer, where he talks about the TRUE history of our Christmas traditions and debunks some of the popular myths and questions circulating online including:
- Is there any CHRISTIAN truth to our Christmas traditions or are they rooted in paganism?
- What’s the deal with Santa Claus and where did he come from?
- Was Jesus REALLY born on December 25th?
- Is Christmas a copycat of Sol Invictus?
- What role did St. Nicholas play at the Council of Nicaea?
- Where did the Christmas tree come from?
- How did Martin Luther change Germany’s Christmas traditions?
- Is it ok for Christians to use the term X-mas and where did it come from?
- Should Christians teach their kids that the mythical Santa Claus is real?
- What is the true meaning of Christmas?
