I wouldn't go that far. Some traditions can be a positive that help give people a sense of shared community: christmas trees, presents and gluhwein for christmas, turkey for thanksgiving, etc

There are better reasons for all those things.

"Because the decorating the Christmas tree is fun and it looks pretty"

"Because it's nice for me to give and receive gifts"

"Because Turkey tastes good"

Those are also all the reasons those things became traditional in the first place.
