It's also pretty big bazinga theory tier speculation, since the vast majority of similarities between Christmas and Saturnalia only arose in the past 200 years. It shows how low pat is that he's repeating this verbatim, since even TJ "banana hole" Kirk tier atheists usually couch it with "well, they lifted traditions from like half a dozen pagan winter festivals and merged them" rather than just saying they copied and replaced a single one.Saturnalia and a few others. The purpose was to establish Christmas as an Empire-wide holiday by celebrating it at the same time. The people in subject states would go along with calling it Christmas so long as they got to keep their midwinter parties.
