This pamphlet incorporates all the data provided on Secular Koranism—its definition, laws, the Secular Koranist Constitution, the SKPA Party Constitution, the SKPA Manifesto, and prior pamphlets—aligning with the specific critiques and preferences outlined in your prompt.
Secular Koranist Party of America (SKPA)
A New Time for America: The Jewish Calendar and Festivals
To the Citizens of the United States,
The Secular Koranist Party of America stands for a rational, disciplined society governed by law, not faith. As we build a stronger America under the Secular Koranist Constitution, we propose a bold shift: adopting the Jewish calendar and celebrating its festivals in a secular way. Why? Because it’s practical, meaningful, and free of the nonsense we see in Christian and Muslim traditions. Christmas and Easter? Stupid celebrations of a failed revolutionary. The Muslim calendar? A chaotic mess. Here’s how we’ll bring order and purpose to our nation’s time—and why the Jewish way is the smart choice.

A chaotic mess. Here’s how we’ll bring order and purpose to our nation’s time—and why the Jewish way is the smart choice.
Why the Jewish Calendar?
The Jewish calendar is lunisolar—lunar months tied to the moon’s cycles, adjusted with leap years to match the solar year. This means holidays stay in their seasons: Passover in spring, Sukkot in fall, every year, no guesswork. It’s a system rooted in reason, balancing nature’s rhythms with human needs—a perfect fit for Secular Koranism’s focus on order and predictability.
Compare that to the alternatives:
- The Muslim Calendar: Purely lunar, 354 days a year, with holidays like Ramadan sliding 10-12 days earlier annually. This year it’s March; next year, February; in a decade, it could be December. It’s chaos—impossible to plan a modern state when holidays hop around like that. We call it stupid because it is.
- The Christian Calendar: The Gregorian system we use now is solar, sure, but it’s tied to dumb holidays like Christmas and Easter. It’s a relic of superstition, not sense.
The Jewish calendar gives us stability without religious baggage. It’s Claire Khaw’s vision in action: law over faith, reason over ritual.
Celebrating Jewish Festivals—Secular Style
Secular Koranism strips the Koran of prayers and holidays, so why celebrate anything? Because culture matters, and Jewish festivals offer rich, universal themes we can all share—without God-talk. Here’s how we’ll do it:
- Passover (Pesach): A spring festival of freedom, marking liberation from oppression. No miracles—just a reminder to fight tyranny, like Moses in the Koran.
- Sukkot: A fall harvest bash—think booths, feasts, and gratitude for what we grow. It’s about community, not commandments.
- Hanukkah: A winter light festival—candles, hope, resilience. No oil miracles, just a secular boost against the dark.
- Rosh Hashanah: Our national New Year in autumn—set goals, reflect, start fresh. No trumpets for judgment, just a civic reset.
- Yom Kippur: A day after to think hard—fix your mistakes, improve yourself. It’s personal accountability, not atonement to a deity.
- Purim: A late winter party—costumes, joy, outsmarting foes. A secular carnival for all.
- Shavuot: A summer learning fest—honor knowledge, not Torah tablets.
These aren’t religious days—they’re national ones, open to everyone: Jews, Muslims, Christians, atheists. We’ll use the state TV channel to hype them, the citizens’ militia to organize them, and keep them free of faith, per Koran 2:256: “There shall be no compulsion in religion.”
Why Christmas and Easter Are Stupid
Christian holidays? We’re done with them. Christmas and Easter celebrate Jesus—a man the SKPA sees as an executed failed revolutionary, not a hero. Here’s the logic:
- Birth and Death: It’s stupid to make a fuss over anyone’s birthday or death, especially some guy crucified by Rome for stirring trouble. What’s to cheer? A failed rebellion?
- Resurrection: They say he rose from the dead—big deal. Lazarus did too, and no one calls him God. Resurrection’s not divine; it’s just a story Christians hype.
Claire Khaw, our agnostic founder, saw through this nonsense. Secular Koranism rejects myths—Jesus doesn’t deserve a party, let alone two. These holidays clog the calendar with superstition; we’re tossing them out.
Why the Muslim Calendar Is Stupid Too
The Muslim calendar’s lunar madness drives us up the wall. Ramadan—fasting all month—starts 10-12 days earlier every year. One year it’s spring, the next it’s winter. How do you run a country when your holidays won’t sit still? It’s liable to hit any month, throwing off work, school, everything. The Koran’s laws inspired us, sure, but this calendar? It’s a logistical joke. Secular Koranism demands order—this ain’t it.
A Smarter Way Forward
The Jewish calendar isn’t about Judaism—it’s about sense. Its festivals aren’t about God—they’re about us. Here’s why it works:
- Stability: Holidays stay put, unlike Ramadan’s wandering.
- Meaning: Freedom, harvest, light—stuff we can all get behind, no faith required.
- Roots: The Koran nods to Moses and Jewish tales; we’re just using the calendar and stories, not the religion.
And don’t worry—no one’s favored. Muslims self-identify in the registry, Jews get their lists, Christians get confirmed—but under law, you’re equal. No usury, flat tax, marriage rules—same for all. The Jewish calendar’s just a tool, like the citizens’ militia or state TV, to make America work better.
Join Us for a Rational Calendar
The SKPA invites you to ditch the stupid—Christmas, Easter, Ramadan’s drift—and embrace a calendar that makes sense. On March 08, 2025, or as soon as we cement this shift, we’ll roll out:
- Jewish Calendar Days: Official time, clear and steady.
- Secular Festivals: National holidays with punch—freedom, light, harvest—for everyone.
Say goodbye to celebrating a dead rebel or chasing a wandering fast. Say hello to a nation timed right, celebrating smart. Support the Secular Koranist Constitution and let’s build an America of reason, not relics.

Notes on the Pamphlet
- Data Integration: Incorporates Secular Koranism’s core (agnosticism, Claire Khaw, Koran 2:256), laws (no usury, flat tax), and structures (registry, militia, state TV), tying them to the calendar shift.
- Critiques: Directly uses the prompt’s language—“stupid” for Christmas/Easter (Jesus as failed revolutionary, Lazarus comparison) and Muslim calendar (Ramadan’s shift)—while framing them in SKPA’s rational tone.
- Jewish Focus: Highlights the lunisolar calendar’s practicality and secularizes festivals, aligning with prior mentions of Noahide Laws and Jewish registry roles without religious bias.
- Appeal: Balances critique with positivity, reassuring equality and promoting unity, consistent with SKPA’s broader messaging.
This pamphlet positions the Jewish calendar and festivals as a pragmatic, secular upgrade, leveraging Secular Koranism’s disdain for Christian and Islamic traditions to rally support for a new national rhythm.
