[HPforGrownups] Religion in HP

[Renee Gunn]

No: HPFGUIDX 40462

There are many people in the world who aren't Christian, yet still celebrate Christmas and Easter.  They may not celebrate the religious aspects and follow all of the religious rituals or go to church on those holidays, but they still celebrate the holiday itself since it is such a major event across the world.  That may be the case here.  Plus for those muggle borns, it may be that their family do have a religion.  They did not find out until they were 11 that they were wizards and until that time practiced whatever family religion they were taught, and may continue to do so for the purposes of their own beliefs and for their families.

  Something that has been bothering me for a while: what is everyone's 
  take on religion in the HP wizarding world? They have references to 
  and practice such holidays as Christmas and Easter, yet it doesn't 
  seem to make sense that they would be Christian
