I assume that across this country atheists and agnostics will celebrate Thanksgiving? Why?
Thanks requires an object. Do you thank a stop light for changing color? You don’t thank a stone for not tripping you. That would be as silly as cussing it out when you stub your toe. But then, I guess we do that, don’t we? That may be why people call it Turkey Day. At least they can thank the turkey.
People who believe in God have a reason to be thankful. Better, we have a person to thank. We should do it more often and with greater sincerity. This day is to remind us.
I hope you have something to celebrate.
