I understand you're a communist and you all hate religion but the fact is religion is deeply embedded in the culture and psyche of the American way of life.

We've got some beautiful old churches with rich histories and amazing architecture here. If anything, it's a nice environment to sit and think.

Just imagine how awestruck you’d be if you understood the real message of Christmas.

Religious? Nah bruh, spiritual. The man is a legend who's music and civil rights message will live forever.

That is a mixed truth, he's a legend today, to some, 99% of the world doesn't know he existed much less what he did.
Take three paragraphs no four, explain his civil rights message, then in two closing paragraphs set him apart, describe and convey exactly why his message, if he had one was different from any civil rights proponent.
The part in red message will live forever is not true and will never be true. Few alive today associate Marley with nothing more than smoking weed, and couldn't tell you anything more than that.
You must a special type person, I lived in his era, and still live and knew of and listened to his works while he was alive and you're gonna tell me it will live forever. Besides the hippies, which are dying rapidly now, potheads that carry him as a merit badge for their credibility, and just people that think they are cool if they know of him it won't stand the test of time.
You want eternal, eternal is you and people for centuries past and future when pissed it's the old reliable "Jesus Christ." Bob Marley is one dead singer that put out some good music, not much, but retains a cult status because of clowns like you.
He's dead, Tupac is dead, neither was earth shattering or earth changing.
You got that? Next time someone pisses you off royally and you say "Jesus Christ" you just called down the eternal, one that lives forever.

Uh no, he was absolutely religious.
He believed the emperor of Ethiopia was literally Jesus Christ reincarnated living on earth.
He rejected Cancer treatment because of his religion and instead followed the advice of a crackpot who was charged with fraud.
He died because of his stupidity.

Spirituality is a solitary experience of the divine, while religion involves a group of people brought together by their common faith or beliefs about the divine.
Ergo, Marley was spiritual.

He was a Rastafarian.
Rastafarianism is a religion.
Ergo, Marley was religious.
Lol, this isn't that complicated.

Exactly ... I am a Spiritual person and respectful of other's religious choices.

Unfortunately, you are correct but he was also a very Spiritual person.

Christ's birth has no real religious or spiritual significance IMO ... it has only gained significance in the last few centuries due to marketing.
Christ's death has great religious significance.

If you were visited in your home by someone of greatest importance, you would not find any significance in that incident?

No.
Even if I met Jesus, I’d probably just be like ‘sup ferret welcome back’.

Not likely, he does have you penciled in for a precise date however. It's a meeting you won't be late to.
