South Africa has nine religious holidays. Of these, seven are secular humanistic in nature. Ironically, the humanists feel strongly that they lack two more.

This begs two questions: if they represent a mere 15% of the population, why are their voices heard above everyone else, above the 85%?

Shall we ignominiously bear the irony of their childish rants that the overwhelming 75% Christian bloc in South Africa be ignored?
