Is Christmas becoming more of a secular holiday than a religious one?
Researchers say yes, albeit slowly.
The Pew Research Center found that adults in the United States believe that Christmas is shifting from the religious aspects, and many are not worried about the changes, the Huffington Post reported.

Millennials in the survey said that the holiday is more cultural than religious.
