Jesus? Isn't Christmas the birth of Santa? jk

USA today survey found what we all sort of knew already ... that a lot of us celebrate Christmas, but aren't really concerned about the holiday's religious roots.
Some survey results:
More people encourage belief in Santa Claus (38 percent) than tell the Gospel story (28 percent).
Young adults, aged 18 to 29, might be a big reason for the move away from religion as 74 percent of people in this age group say the season "has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus."
62 percent of people who follow non-Christian religions still celebrate Christmas, along with 89 percent of people who say they're agnostic or have no religious identity and 55 percent of atheists.
