All Saints Day is celebrated on November 1. (Halloween being the somewhat secular precursor on October 31.)
Some people are afraid of the hereafter or believe that life after death doesn't exist. If you aren't a believer, why not choose to leave your options open?
It's far easier to live in this world if you believe that there's more to reality than the here and now. This philosophy of living also isn't superstitious, or offensive to others, regardless of what some might claim.
Saints, sinners, and all the rest
Saints are people who lived their lives in such a way that they are believed to have achieved an eternal reward in the afterlife, aka heaven. But they also remain connected to everyone on this earth.
All Souls Day (November 2) involves the more complex idea of unpurified souls who undergo a spiritual cleansing before heading through the pearly gates. This assumes humans have souls, as opposed to those who believe humans are only evolved animals. (Which notion is the more 'progressive' thought?)
Believers and Non-Believers Agree About The Big Bang
I say to non-believers: You choose to believe that our existence appeared out of nowhere one day. Well, believers agree with you.
Yes, that's right. Believers also think that everything came from nowhere. But they also believe that God chose to create it all.
Which is the fairy tale: Everything came magically from nothing, or that a supreme being (God) created everything from something?
Why not choose to believe that there is more to life than what we see. That's what an 'open-minded' person would do.
