- do you describe yourself as an atheist or something else?
- do you celebrate any holidays?
- do you teach your kids what you believe?

Answering my own questions :)

I usually think of myself as a secular humanist, but often I will say atheist because it is easier. Sometimes I describe us as "non-church goers" if I want the conversation to continue without derailment, i.e. there is a more salient point that will be lost if the conversation veers.

We used to celebrate Christmas and Easter as cultural holidays from our childhood but decided as a family to recognise the soltices and equinoxes instead and make our own traditions.

yes, when they have asked about my beliefs but I also have taught them what other faiths believe. My kids know that they are free to make their own choices.
