We all know that codeforces is offering us a chance to change our Ranks. But for this you have to admit that Santa clause is real. Don't do it Muslim brothers . It's Shirk. If you accept Santa Clause exist you will no longer remain a Muslim.

 I hope MikeMirzayanov will pay attention to it and remove this so that it doesn't hurt our(Muslims) religious views.

And For my Christian brothers, I want to say that ,The word 'Christmas' is not even present in the entire Bible. Neither the date 25th December nor any other date on Jesus' birth is mentioned in the Bible. Not until the year 530 C.E., that a monk, Dionysus Exigus, fixed the date of the birth of Jesus on December 25th. "He wrongly dated the birth of Christ according to the Roman system (i.e., 754 years after the founding of Rome) as December 25, 753". (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1998 ed.).

Everyone knows this and it doesn't really support any of your argument. It almost gives off an "I am very smart" vibe.

And the Jeremiah verse is about creating idols/false gods, not literally decorating trees. (And even if it was it wouldn't support any point either).

As a workaround you can switch to Russian interface and rather confirm Ded Moroz existence, with whom Russian orthodox church lives rather peacefully despite his pagan roots

Ok, let's say your second argument has convinced me that Christmas or Santa Claus doesn't have anything to do with Christianity. Therefore, it isn't really a religious thing! But then why does "admitting" that Santa Claus exists cause you any problems as a Muslim?

I understand and respect your desire to uphold your faith to the highest standards. But sorry, this is completely unreasonable.

1) Santa Claus does exist, in fact, his real name is Saint Nicholas, a historical figure who used to anonymously send people gifts. His remains are in Bari, Italy (I've been there myself), and you may read about him here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas.

2) If you accept Santa Clause exist you will no longer remain a Muslim. In Islam, it it is God's job to decide who is a Muslim and who isn't, not yours. Furthermore, many of my devout Muslim friends enjoy the Christmas spirit (which has transcended religion really) and are just as faithful.

3) Codeforces is first and foremost a programming website open to anyone willing to make a submission. We are a diverse community blind to religion, race, creed, and color. Each is free to express himself or herself, but the main focus will always be programming. If we were to try to address all sensitivities (of which there have been many, ex: the atheists who were offended by a Muslim posting "In the name of God" in the beginning of a contest, or, one person being bothered by a corona themed contest), then we would cause immeasurable tension and waste a lot of time.
