Believing in gods (or not)[[edit source]]
I removed the bit saying "(The Doctor) stated in The Satan Pit that he doesn't believe in any god, so there for in the Doctor Who universe, Christmas is not a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ" because the Doctor does believe in the existence of people and beings who are worshipped as gods. After all, he's met them and fought them and even been one of them, even though he personally doesn't count them as gods. It's possible the Whoniverse version of Jesus might be one of them too. So you can't draw any firm conclusion about whether or not Christmas in the Doctor Who universe is or isn't a celebration of his birth.
