I thought you at least would sympathise with me. It's just like Christmas: you can't get away from it. Religious celebrations should be kept within religious bounds and not forced on everyone else, don't you agree?

Or do you now see that Valentine's Day, Christmas, Easter and so on are not being foisted on the country by religious extremists (or if they are, they are doing it ineffectively), but by Mammon. Money is being made out of these festivities by opportunist capitalists who have no respect for religions or for atheists, and where there is money to be made, other people's rights, moralities and expectations are swept aside.
