Well, it is, but celebrated as it once was in conjunction with All Saints
Day, I can live with it.

"All Saints Day" does not appear on the religious calendar of Jonny Hart
style "Christians", especially since "saints" are a Catholic thing.


Don't tell that to the Mormans!

Some consider them to be as much Christians as Muslims are (or
Catholics ^_^)

Actually, isn't "saint" (note the lower-case 's') a concept common to
most Christian denominations? Although I know some groups don't
believe Heaven will be open to anyone until Judgement Day, most
Christians believe eternal life has been already granted to many
deceased believers and they are now in Heaven (and thus a saint).

The "Good News" Bible has all references to Saints removed.
Interestingly, this is was my first bible the church we went to gave me
in elementary school in the 70's. It closed down soon after and mom
picked out a rather casual Presbyterian one for us to go to :)
