I'm British so I don't do Thanksgiving Day. It's a religious holiday and Lincoln said; "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens." Even if I wasn't an atheist I wouldn't do it because even if I believe there was a God, I'd still find the idea of thanking a God for a good life abhorrent. Does this imply a lack of gratitude? What it means that if you're thanking a god for,your great life and the abundance of food in front of you that means God looked at the starving Africans and every other deserving person on the planet and chose you above them. That's not something I think I'd ever feel comfortable doing.
