The way I view religious holidays is, if it provides an excuse for feasting, drinking or fucking, then let's celebrate. I don't care that someone else believes that were feasting for Jesus hanging out or Ostara bringing us a bountiful harvest. I'm just here for the food.
As for other religions left overs, I would say that a lot of my core morals were originally taught to me as part of Christianity. While "thou shalt not kill" is pretty universal and is defensible outside the framework of religion, it it's where I originally was taught that.
