Hello, I am new here, I would like to ask if it's ok for atheists to celebrate day of the dead. I'm from Hispanic background, so this is a major holiday for me. It's not so much focused on religion, it's about how the souls of dead loved ones come to our houses to spend time with us. Now, I've always believed In the paranormal, no matter if in an atheist, atheist means not believing in a god, and I'm doing just that. So back to the subject, is it ok if I celebrate it, you know, make an ofrenda (altar) dedicated to my dead grandma. The only thing religious I'm putting on the altar are crosses (my grandma is a Christian) and and our lady of guadalupe candle ( a major cultural figure in my race)
