A report says Christmas in the USA is now less religious. Nine out of ten Americans celebrate Christmas, but only half think it is religious. Over two thousand people answered questions about Christmas. Over 30 per cent said it was a cultural holiday. The report said more younger people think Christmas is not a religious holiday. They're less likely to go to church. They are also less likely to believe in the story of the birth of Jesus.

People are also changing what they say to each other. More people are saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". This is because people want to include all holidays in their holiday wishes. Almost 80 per cent of Americans will watch a Christmas movie. Only 59 per cent will go to church. People spend an average of $914 on Christmas. People most look forward to spending time with their family at Christmas.
