90% of Americans celebrate Christmas, a holiday about the birth of Jesus.

Personally I think Christianity appeals to people because of salvation theology, which claims that anyone can be cleansed of their sins if they are really, really sorry and love Jesus.

The rest of us don't buy that nonsense.
